    Yes, your Dad was a smart man, Moses. He was referring to the seeing the world a a mirror of yourself. That someone can see another as a pedophile, especially when the other is not, what he is actually seeing is his image he has of himself projected on the world around him.

    Huh?

    When I point my index finger, my thumb does NOT point back at me.

    Am I missing something here?

    I agree. If there is any real damage being done to reputation or livelihood, it would be a legal issue and a legal remedy could be pursued. With all the threats against Ken, I don't think any real damage was done to either, although the psychic pain inflicted may have been the cause of his closing his forum. Bullies have resulted in some kids committing suicide, but we're talking about adults here, and I don't see any danger of Norm taking his life over lies and innuendo from non-credible sources.

    Does this have anything to do with the right hand rule I learned in college physics?

    Sorry, but you are incorrect. Actual, serious, monetary damage was caused.

    This would require large amounts of money and years of effort.

    BTW, Mac has moved the date for the destruction of this site, that he has said he will do anything to bring about, to "a few months". If they are going to do it; I really wish they would hurry up. I don't have much time these days.

    This is what I have to say about his promise to shut down this site:

    Could you describe the monetary damages (I'm talking about Ken)? Was the decision to cease operations due to the monetary damages, or was the decision to cease operations the monetary damage itself?

    This is what I have to say about his promise to shut down this site:

    I haven't read any of Mac's threats but it's just trash talk. I don't even know why he was banned, although I do know he felt he was treated unfairly and accused of something he wasn't guilty of. When people feel they are accused unfairly they can get really nasty. But I don't feel he is a person who would actually try to carry out such a threat against another man's livelihood. He's really comes across as a decent person in every dealing I have had with him. I know if I try to bring peace between you and him and some of the others, I will probably end up being hated by you and them both. If you're not going to pursue any of this legally, and I'm not suggesting you should, silence is golden. Moo's advice was spot on.

    The only posts Mac made here, of which I am aware, were using the Member Hidden feature and were simply insults unrelated to gaming.

    Ouchez: I have just been told today, by someone with fine credentials, that mormons software sales are showing a nearly 30% drop from last years sales, which were off from the year before that.
    Mac: I want 50% or more. His lively hood is what funds this horrible, horrible Presidents agenda......
    Nice to hear CP.....
    Now ole mornman is gonna be laying at wake wondering who is the snitch on his personal information...
    Lmao!
    Ouchez knows more about my sales than I. I have no idea what my sales are year to year. I don't track them that way. I lump all income together and hand it to my acct before tax time, and haven't even looked at them yet for last year. As for how Casino Verite funds the president, I have no idea. My software sales have never been high enough to support my own expenses, much less those of the White House. However, I did get my tax statement from my publisher yesterday. 2014 book royalties: $393.98. Putting a free copy on the 'Net doesn't spur a lot of sales.

    So the attacks are all about political philosophy?

    Also racial bigotry and anti-Semitism. Apparently, not only were Jews behind 9/11, but every NYC Jew knew about 9/11 in advance, and they also assassinated three presidents. Ohh, and Jews are planning to kill four billion people and the trails behind jets as they speed through the ionosphere are actually streams of poison gas they're spreading to control people's minds. And they are on a current spree of Holocaust-denial posts. You wouldn't believe what idiotic theories the human mind can contrive.
