You must think that all your readers here are stupid.

It's completely clear what "Arnaud" meant and why it
was wrong, even to you, I'm sure, all of your smoke
and misdirection aside.

> You wrote "Jasz". That is a region of Hungary.

No, it is not. 'Jászság' is the name of the region,
which takes its name from the Jász _people_.

As usual, you know not whereof you speak:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasz

Because that is the name.

Not that I know of, but my family history is off-topic
in any case.

***

Somehow I suspected that.

> Are you of the Romanian ethnos?

No, the ethnos in question is that of the Jász. I have
besides a Scottish great grandfather from whom I get my
family name, the one you claimed came from a garbage can,
and a Cherokee great-grandmother as well.

All of this is however, again, off-topic. If you just
happen to feel chatty, then locate a geneology list and
we can discuss it at length there.

I'm told offline by other members of cybalist the same
about yourself.

Well, then we are in the same boat.

Is this another of your brilliant generalizations?

Yes, statistics prove it (see above link).

At various times on this list and others you have let
slip samples of your racist, sexist, and homophobic
thinking, and in private e-mail let them fly fast and
free, including this comment about your sexism.

***

What are you most concerned about: homophobic?

In case you haven't looked out your window in awhile
time, which often appears to be the case with you,
racism, sexism, and homophobia are all immoral.

Quote some more from the letters. How you broke the law and were shocked to
be punished for it.

> Jenseits von Gut und Böse? Flattery from you, David???????

Now you explain that one for us in detail. I don't
mean Nietzsche, but your claim of flattery.

***

You are, as you say, incapable of understanding.

Precisely: I have to, because you're not emotionally
stable, and you do not, because I am.

Attempting to curb your abuse of this list doesn't
amount to attempting to enslave you, but then this
is really just an example of what I described at
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist_admin
and no more.

I wrote to cyablist_admin, describing Patrik Ryan:

How very odd! I thought a list of highly educated people who speak many
languages would be amused by utilizing their knowledge.

Very foolish of me!
