Arnaud Fournet to M. Ryan,
As far as I concerned,
I volunteered to become a member on a "serious" site about what I
like most : linguistics, historical linguistics, indo-european,
macro-comparison and all the rest.
I did not volunteered for a "shit and piss" blog for dumb ass-holes.
So if you were not a member of Cybalist,
it would be simple,
In the meantime, I want you to know that your "shit and piss"
personal obsession is not welcome,
by me, in the first place, and by most people, as I suppose I am not
the one and only standard human being on the site.
I think most people (except you) share the same standard
intellectual / emotional "wire".
Next,
your joke-providing ability is low, not to say unproved.
I would rate it a "relief" that you just avoid trying to
make "jokes". In other words, just Sh.. up.
And the rest of the world will enjoy a moment of happiness.
Now, as far as apologies are concerned,
You have already gone very far.
The number of your direct and indirect offenses is hard to assess.
And you have made it clear that you are a cheater as well
and that you are not to be trusted.
You have insulted me repeatedly
even when the moderators had asked for something more honourable.
You have written the worst about "Lisan" and well-known scientific
references that are not questionable.
I cannot even list your offenses.
You have gone beyond the point where repair can be negotiated.
Accepting your apologies would imply that I consider you on an equal
par with me. I do not.
I think your words, your deeds, your behavior, your person are not
even worth being contempted. To hate you is a waste of time. Life is
too short to think about contempting or hating you.
So keep your cheap and unreliable apologies for yourself.
I do not accept your apologies.
And even if I accepted them, it would mean nothing because I can not
stand as the representative for all the persons you have offended.
Arnaud
