Yawn. My posting privileges at andy are taken away and I cant send messages. SF, was a very quick ban..they have a huge readership and wont except certain members being mocked.

Here though one can run naked and no one will notice. It is very cosmopolitan here. But there is the other issue--little discussion going on.

Although, I would expect certain things, say shoomans ideas that John Lobb and EG are simply glorified walmart shoes, to be taken badly at Andy or SF. He would likely be banned there simply for having the controversial (hehehe) idea. Here is a little different, which is good, but I think out of necessity. 

Yuca, who cares what you think, you must be the dimmest bulb Ive ever met--and I am being honest.

And homunculus, I believe the word you are looking for is milieu. You need to take your studies seriously, but I like you.

Yuca, who is racist? Playing with a stereotype does not make one a racist...but it does say something about the people who react strongly to the stereotype being thrown out there.

SF is a huge place, where there were many little threads to drop a line, and my less than reverential attitude to all things be it clothing brands or people was not tolerated--so certainly your star hypothesis has been proved wrong already.

Plekhanov? The contemporary political scientist or Marxist? I have read the writings of the former not latter.

Oh, the cosmetic surgeon who thinks he is entitled to a good time...You are a cosmetic surgeon, no?

I am glad that your breast augmenting and botox injecting hands have reached the forum and my attention but know that you need to be more than a overweight pseudo doctor for me to take notice of your lofty expectations. I have never liked doctors in general, and not even doctors like your ilk, so what social convention is pressuring me to think of you as anything more than a gnat?

I will be off shortly, no need for concern grandfather. Nice florsheims btw...did you respond to my inquiry? Take your time

We both suffer from the same affliction then...except I have something to live for...You have your moderation though, thats real cool though

Now I feel bad...your employ-ability depends on online infamy? We are too far apart to be even near equals.

I didnt know men make livings out of talking on forums, this is new to me.

Truly, if it helps you, then I am glad I was of service...I hope I made you less anonymous, although I imagine you are very well known.

Good for you...I am glad to hear it. Every man has to make a living some way.

Yes, Russ. We are in very different lines of work.

I am impressed Ivy...

Certainly I do not come here to talk about myself...that is only incidental. We are not too different, although most people all around are really quite similar--the differences being wholly artificial--so perhaps it is just a platitude?

For me, family is important and because of luck and moments of opportunism everything else unimportant. Property development, you say? We have something in common.

I dont feel I need to match anyone in anyway. Your years of experience should be enough to alert you to the folly of that mode of thinking.

If you are secure, comfortable, not wanting of anything--in short, happy--then you should be at ease. May I be so impertinent to say, perhaps there is not complete ease from your end? I am probably seeing something that is not there though.
