At 65, I added a lttle Loomix to my oatmeal every morning and now I have a fine little Heffer.

Grasping at straws now are we Pauli Boy? So upset that we dig up month old threads so we can cry about things? Attempting to hold hands with and drum up support from those who opposed you recently?

Poor form for a 46 year old who finally graduated college.

If I were you Pauli Boy (and I drop to my knees and thank god and my lucky stars that I am not) instead of baseless accusations I would JUST MAYBE self-reflect as to why I am a lingustics major whos audience can't understand what I have written since my first day on this forum.

FYI..Tug and I have corresponded since my first days as a member via post and PM. Hayes' family and mine have broken bread several times. Our families correspond virtually everyday.

If you are looking for hand-holding you should stick with those who share your racist, control-freakish views.

Or in Pauli-speak....KikayandI are you grovelling again? STAND UP! You should quit sniveling about self-inflicted poor ratings, tie your shoes BOY, pick yourself up off the floor and wash the DNA material off your chin. (just dont use an exfoliant soap or a Ralph Lauren hand towel)

No, I'm not upset at all, and I'm not into the 'support me game', I really don't care. I was just wondering about why you are spending your time going over my posts to rate them all bad, how a plain 'thankyou' note to Yves merited your bad vote just seemed kinda weird. I mean just like other people I don't see much point to the system when it's used like this.
I had noticed that one of your friends thought the practice 'beyond pathetic' and I tend to agree. I agree with his pov on this topic, which doesn't mean I'm trying to drum up his, or anybody else's support or favour. If people agree, fine, if they don't, fine. I know, and everbody else does too, you form a pack and tend to vote together so there wouldn't be much point in that anyway.
It's obvious we have our differences of opinion but I'm not really into continuous vindictive personal attacks. I admit our exchanges did get a little heated and I did get a little personal myself but I'm not going any further with it. If you want to carry on with it and that makes you happy ok.
By this message I'm not trying to go one better than you by trying to appear superior or anything like that, I just honestly can't be bothered. If we disagreed about ideas or topics I wouldn't mind discussing them but just exchanging ongoing personal attacks and insults seems a pretty pointless thing to do, we probably both have better ways of spending our time.

Baseless and untrue accusation. It is inflamitory as well. I just went back and looked at pre-rating era posts of yours. I saw nothing to substantiate your allegation. They weren't rated at all. Even if your allegation that you had bad votes WERE true, it wouldn't have been me that did it. Until 48 hours ago I didn't even know your Asawa persona and found it disturbing that you knew what I had on my sig line six months ago or what I had in my BIO over a year ago. Well not disturbed but definitely surprised.

You miffed plenty of Pinays yesterday. While I was looking into your false allegation I noticed that you have been pretty contentious with many other forum members as well. Mostly they had to do with not understanding your linguistics. If people do not like what your post says, you get a bad vote from them. It looks like the system works. You had good votes as well.

I am not sure why you think I am solely responsible for your poor ratings.

When I put my foot in my mouth, which happens often, I get bad votes. I don't complain about it, I don't blame the system, blame individuals or try to assess blame to everyone or everthing except myself. I accept the blame all on my own and don't blame others. You should try this instead of thinking someone is out to get you. It is more relaxing this way.

None the less I agree with the rest of your post. You and I both have more important things to do than exchanging personal attacks.

I also sincerely wish you luck in finishing the last hurdles in being united with your wife. After gutting your way through two govt beurocracies, fines, fees, stamps, and plane tickets you will have your wife in your arms. Believe me Paul, when this happens you will no longer care about bad votes, skin creams, and Ralph Lauren products. You will be relaxed and have a new bead on life. It is the range of emotion and grinding through the process that this forum was meant for.

Look John, I'm not trying to inflame anything, quite the contrary.

I just went back and looked at pre-rating era posts of yours. I saw nothing to substantiate your allegation.

I only refer to posts made in the last week, I hadn't and haven't looked further back. I find bad votes on discussion material valid but bad ratings on chit-chat and 'thank you' notes really weird, suspicious. The only person I've clearly pissed off this last couple weeks has been you and so the coincidence that I start getting bad ratings for totally non-polemical posts led me to that conclusion. At least that's plausible right? Ok so maybe it was some miffed Pinay, that is plausible too but you were definitley pissed off, and I'll admit rightly so given my OTT sarcasm, and you just gave tit-for-tat. If you say you haven't I'll take your word on it.

Until 48 hours ago I didn't even know your Asawa persona and found it disturbing that you knew what I had on my sig line six months ago or what I had in my BIO over a year ago. Well not disturbed but definitely surprised.

I remember you joined asawa about the same time as I did and checked your Bio back then as we coincided on a couple of debates. There's nothing sinister about that, that's what they're there for.
All I remembered from that is your job, well, that you're a CEO, if that's what you mean. Dunno what you mean by your sig line, what was on that? In fact I could say the same. I was surprised too...how on earth do you know that I got a Ms in (Applied) Linguistics when 46? That's not in my Bio or anywhere else as far as i can remember.
(FTR, I graduated same time as most do but have since done a couple more part time courses, and will probably do another in media studies next year - the trouble in Linguistics is that they changed radically since I was originally at college.)

It looks like the system works. I am not sure why you think I am solely responsible for your poor ratings

I don't agree with that, I don't think it works well. Seems to me and quite a few others a lot of vindictive personal stuff goes on which skews its value. As far as who was responsible for the weird ratings goes, I repeat, I was talking about the weird ones this week and I've already pointed out the plausibility for thinking it was you. On the other hand I know full well I am an opinionated arrogant bugger holding a lot of unconventional opinions which can appear very weird to a lot of people, and so getting bad ratings falls well within the scheme of things, they're par for the course. I don't have a problem with that.
I just didn't like the feeling of somebody stalking me, an entirely justified feeling I reckon given bad ratings for saying things like 'thanks'.

None the less I agree with the rest of your post. You and I both have more important things to do than exchanging personal attacks. I also sincerely wish you luck in finishing the last hurdles in being united with your wife. After gutting your way through two govt beurocracies, fines, fees, stamps, and plane tickets you will have your wife in your arms.

OK, I'm cool with this and seeing as you appear sincere I too can say 2 things sincerely. One, thanks for wishing me luck, at least in one last requirement (her DOST permission) we could do with some, I don't want a near on $2,500 bond to pay at this late stage. Two, I wear HK Lacoste. And 3, (ok so i can't count) I use oxy spot on.

Paul.
