Real wasn't a good way for me to express that in the past. I think I prefer literary creation. Because X the Unknown certainly is a literary creation. Like a huge epistolary autobiography, written under an alias, it is certainly a work of self- but it is not THE self (not for me anyway. If you feel "E" is you, maybe it is, but legally, and for the rest of us, I don't think you can expect us to think that "E", and the person who created it, are exactly the same. No, wait- you can expect that, but you can also expect to be disappointed.) It is not about denying what happened, except in your own mind. It is about a different perception of what happened. I understand you may never, ever get that there is more than one way to see things. I never went along with the idea that CH was dangerous. Not in PM, not in any "M". I know you think I am "allied" with CH, and that you are incapable of thinking in other terms. But I am not allied with him. I simply happen to have a position on what has happened here that is advantageous to him, but that is not why I advance that position. As for the boring part- I think what you really mean is you don't agree with me, and you are annoyed with my POV so you have to think of some way to slam that POV- and boring and pedestrian are the best you can do. As I have seen some really boring and pedestrian thought, I can tell you these sorts of discussions do not come up in those circles. I think it is boring and pedestrian of you to use the words boring and pedestrian. <GGG> It is also theft. Since Laz keeps using the word boring too. And yet, there he is again. Must not be quite as boring as he thought :-) If Laz hadn't already used boring your little jibe might have been a little fresher and more original. Let's try from something really new and exciting next time, ok?
