To: goldsheet who wrote (73913 ) 7/25/2001 5:40:01 AM From: d:oug Respond to of 116764 "... to treat you[Dougak] with respect [and]ask for equal treatment." As you have said to me many time Bob Johnson, and everytime i have responded in a manner that implies that i will not Borg comply, which is clear to you, but you keep on trying to obtain something that can not be done. Specifically you are asking for a trade where none is possible, and even if it was attempted, it would nullify itself as worthless. Enough of this babble talk, lets focus. People treating me with respect as if its a trade or a way to communicate with me accomplish just the opposite of intended result desired. To put it directly, the respect i have is that which i have given to myself while monitoring myself, it is not something i obtain from others in exchange for their views of what i say or do. You cannot add to or delete from my respect, and those that cannot take this position in life as a unit alone will try to lie cheat steal con etc. to obtain it. Yes, even trade for it using their own dignity as barter, with the extreme case where two low esteem people agree to respect each other. Using that phrase "two wrongs don't make a right" or "an error results in another error, when used to create" "... to treat you[Dougak] with respect... Just deal with me as data or information or stimulus or a bug or a turd, and then use according to the directions given in the Handbook of Life. So now, "... [and]ask for equal treatment." as once again it an error to ask for and accept tokens of respect from others, especially semi-strangers on this GPM, and eXtra especially from strange semi-strangers like dougak. Once again all you wanted was an "ok" from me, not this long incoherent babble'ism. Tell you what Bob, since you are willing to accept respect as a token given from me to you, tell you what i am gonna do, rather than let you take that dis-respect token i have now in your mind given you, i will now give you the opportunity for that double or nothing type action. Do the following and you will receive 2 respect token from i, and one will anti-matter poof that dis-respect token you currently have gotten from me, leaving you with one respect. Do as i already asked you to do. Yes it very on-topic and will serve two purposes. 1. Prove it in error and prove your bashing gata correct. 2. Just do it because it is on-topic and important w/ condition. The w/ condition above is important if you fail to prove gata is off target and full of hot smelly air., and thusly alert yourself to the reality that xyz ounces in tin-buck2 ain't where the action is to address the gold price monitoring quest. lemetropolecafe.com The Dos Passos Table Letter No. 288 July 23, 2001 What Is Happening to America's Gold? by James Turk © by The Freemarket Gold & Money Report., 3.
