I can say this because I, too, have a variant of this malady. Many of us do, just not in such obvious extremes. I think?

We've been having this discussion repeatedly in IRC. Everyone but me agrees with you, I think.

Timmeh just reminds me of the way many less-educated southern black people talk - particularly with that repetition of "calling him outside his name." I think he is trying to come across as impressive, and failing miserably, but poor communication skills are not necessarily the result of a mental health disorder.

I agree with the Queen of the Universe.

See, I never get to say sentences like this in the real world.

You're not married are you? I am obligated to say that mantra at any and all opportunities.

You could call me and say it a couple of times a day if you'd like. I never get tired of hearing that.

Interesting view.

But the problem is not merely communication. There is a whole context of inconsistent behavior, emotionally driven infractions, a big ego. This suggest if not a mental disorder, at least a behavioral disorder. The most impressive way is to come, have a nice time and feel part of the community, respect and be respected.

The problem of a dictator is that he will not let people live, and people will react to that. It also happens with occupation forces. Romans got to keep their empire together by embracing citizens of new territories as citizens of the empire. Germans, Japanese, Israeli and Americans had problems in occupied lands, because they did not embrace occupied land citizens as fellow citizens.

One interesting example are the indians in Canada. While in US the indians suffered more and more unfavorable conditions during the occupation, in Canada under british ruling, they were allowed to live their lives as part of the empire, but they had to acknowledge and submit before the british Queen as the Great Mother and ruler of this land, which was very simple and easy for them.

If Timmy had studied a bit of "politics", he would have understood. So I agree with you in the "uneducated" part.

I am so going to drunk dial you tonight and tell you that Lolli!!!!!

Well, my issues with Atari are solved as far as I can see.
From now on, for me, Atari shall be a place suitable for children, and The World Forgotten will be a place for free souls who speak their minds.
So now I know when to post here or there.

Now that the war is over, what the heck am I going to talk about?
Will we continue to be friends?
Do not miss the next episode in this very same URL...:D

PD: I now feel quite better.
