Apparently I struck a nerve last night with my comment about his mother. So I offer this as an apology.
The Rajmit Appreciation Thread!
The little bastard sure has made us laugh over the last few months. Share your favorite Rajmit stories here.

People accuse him of talking to himself....is that true if he changes masks and logs in as a different user?

Do you think the lad is bipolar?
What did you say about his mother. Mothers are usually out of bounds.

Ouch,
I have been using your material all week.
If we cannot bring democracy to the third world, we will bring the third world to democracy.
Was that original?

I've been on the internet even before there was a "world Wide Web" and have been involved with many flame wars, all in the past. I've never tangled at all with Rajmit, just his cyber dad, TradIsGood, if that is true or not. And those were pretty engaging.
Rajmit reminds me of the guy on the TV show "House". The doctor who says whatever he thinks, regardless of how others may feel about it. It's like he has no social inhibitions. I guess sometimes I'd like to do that too, but never will. I value the social side of life too much. I won't piss people off, just to have a "free" mind or mouth.
Never the less, on occasion, Rajmit has said what I was thinking. So I guess there is some value in that.
My first paragraph was pretty much to say that on the internet, I just consider the whole thing to be a stream of bits flowing down a wire or fiber. It's not really life or people. I live life in the real world and find entertainment on the internet. Some of my Harley buddies say, "Live to Ride, Ride to Live" I say, "Live to Live, Ride to Ride".

"On the internet, no one knows if you're a dog". I of course realize that I am a living human being typing at this keyboard and that others posting here are as well. It's just that those "bits" represent such a small portion of who they (me) really are that it's like looking at the toenail of an elephant and beliving that somehow I know what it is.
I've had the great pleasure of meeting some of the ST posters in person and in each case, they were SO much more than the cyber words depict.
More to the heart of the matter is that any insult is really just a sequence of on's and off's. Nobody and I mean nobody, would ever get me to the point of violence over a post. Sort of "sticks and stones may break my bones but BITS will never hurt me."
Added after the fact: The Indian Osceola used to call writing, "marking the leaves" and killed his own uncle because he marked the leaves with the white man. Really to me, writing is much the same as "bits down a wire". If someone wants to hurt me, they'll have to come see me first.
And btw, Osceola was considered "soft" by his pals because he would just cut the throat of any captives in his care rather than the days of torture they wanted to give them. Also, btw, he is buried at Fort Sumpter in Charleston, headless. The prision doctor cut off his head when Osceola died and kept it as souvioner(sp). It has been lost to history.

That reminds me of the story about the man who said he conquered anger.
The great sage met him again one day, and the man told him he has conquered his anger. The man invited the great sage into his home for a meal. They all sat down at the table when the sage said to the mans wife that she looked like sh#t. The man thought did I just gear that, nah couldn't be. The great sage then told the mans mother that she's ugly and produced an ugly son. The man started to get a little agitated but held his anger. The great sage went on and on like this until finally the man exploded and became very angry at the sage and told him he's going to throw him out of the house and that he is not a sage at all, but the lowest of mankind.
The sage agreed and asked the man "And why are you angry?"

Yes, back in the day, when I had a lovely young co-ed wife, a man once took me to the side and told me he wanted to sleep with her. I reacted with violence.
What has made me wonder about the accuracy of what I have posted is the recipocal proposition. I say, "I can't be hurt by the words on the net." But can I be made happy by them? Well, yes, I can. It makes me happy to have you respond to my posts. It makes me happy to have an interesting interaction with Lois. Sweet, pretty non-climber that she is.
So, if there is no effect, why do I smile? I think this feeling that I have is a protective boundry I've established. Once I reacted so much that it cost me much. Now perhaps, I've isolated a bit.

His whiskers detected something above. It smelled dead and with potential. Slowly, ever so slowly, he rose through the murky depths. The old channel cat in his primitive brain sensed something might be wrong here but curiosity edged him on. Finally as the murk faded into an orange light, he bit.
What untruths are you talking about?
