1. A socially responsible and truth-seeking post has been
portrayed as a rant.

2. I have calmly stated that psychopaths are psychopaths
many times to their face, and I am successful in life. My
boss and most of my co-workers do not act anything like
many of the false-portraying people on this list, and those
that do are social outcasts.

3. I have stated that people that use false portrayal of
character are psychopaths, not honest people that try to
understand things.

4. The statement about my language is too absurd even to
respond to, and I have used the internet since 1997, though
such information is of no relevence in the first place.

I have explained my ideas well in my original post, though
many people seem to honestly not understand them. If such
people can not understand what I am saying, then it is
unlikely that they can help me very much, though it is not
impossible.

Here is another attempt by a person that is trying to have
others judge me falsely without knowing me:
"Congrats - you have just made my email black list - and
you are the first non-spam source to do so. It is obvious
that your entire point of posting is to cause friction. As
such, I suggest you cease. We have better things to do with
our time than help those who won't be helped.

Ken"

Bad judgements of others should always be seen with
suspicion. The deceptions of the quote are also a method of
causing friction, which is ironic, because Ken has
projected that behavior onto me. I have done nothing but
speak the truth, and the truth is conducive to accord.

I would have prefered not to send this un-electronic post
to the list, but it was necessary to point out the
false portrayal in some of the last posts. This post
will probably be answered with even more false portrayal.
I would prefer that this thread cease, as Ethan Duni does,
but it is socially responsible for me to point out
deceptive verbal tactics, so I feel obliged to do so.
