How do I get you to honor me in this most desired manner?

Act like floyd, otherwise take a drug that induces severe PMS
then drink a bottle of 20/20.

Alternatively, how long do you think you will be fucking around

Hypocrit. Go look in a mirror and repeat that.

, and up, on this newsgroup

Define _____ up this newsgroup. The only reason you are mad is because
people you respect show acute emotional instability problems which they
cannot control and I can flip the switches and get them to behave as I
like. Doesn't that prove a point about why there is no interesting
archaeology being discussed on this group. Your respected cliche peers
are not here to discuss archaeology, but to argue and take offense at
others. Per say it is not racist but it is hate based in its motivations.

And you have your own little problems, because you claimed to be
interested in lithics and yet a whole slew of papers dealing
with lithics presented by yours truely and you don't seem to give a damn.
The late mesolithic lithics that were presented in those papers were equal
in quality to copper age lithics from mesoamerica. Lets be clear
this mention of talk.origins, you liked the group and the methods
because of the fight, as long as your guys were winning. But now it
hard science versus anthropology, and your guys can't win, they can
only be insulted.

before you discover you are bored, er, have
accomplished that which you set out to accomplish, declare victory, or
satisfaction, or satiation, and move on?

Boring is listening to you argue with Inger from the last ice age to the
next about the same abuse, complaints, grandstanding, bad science, bad
history, bad interpretations, all argued, over and over, adnauseum
from the first to the last as if it was the only dsicussion that matters
to an archaeology group, and in general what touched off the discussion
has nothing to do with archaeology. Can't you see the massive
hypocrisy in the statement you make.
Unfortunately as the discussion of archaeology has taken off
so disappear your sweetheart, so I guess you're a bit bored.
Don't worry I will be shortly away and she will return to you.

More to the point, what can we do to give you the bum's ru...erm, help
you out in this matter?

When a truce is declared I keep my bargain, just remember the t.o./s.a.p.
war and check the behavior of individuals in the border flare up that
occured about a year ago. I still held the line, and in the end I was
vindicated despite amazing prejudice to the contrary. Bias is a terrible
thing it will rot your soul out if you let it.

What is that saying "Love the messanger and hate the message, or hate the
messanger but love the message". When do you think you will let go of
the cliche behavior and start thinking of archaeology in terms of
its productive role in society, as a science?

You can take a look at this thread, did I ___ it up or did one
of your respected peers ____ it up. A fair man gives the devil his
due. Now if I create a decent thread and joe blows f's it up, I
think I have a right to F with his head a little, don't I?
So if you want it to stop, I would say focus your love an
alternative direction. Even if my intent was to piss someone
off, it is still 10 to 100 times more content than pisswater.
That is far more than I can say for most of your post.
In any case, it is easier for me the flip out some folks
than to kill a mosquito. For example, with Peter all I have to
do is forget to capitalize proper names and to change
the caps if only one paragraph.
You know me, Tom, what do you think are going to be the
consequences of certain tactical approaches. After I have studied
and defined the behavior of some of the great kooks in the sci.
groups, tied the shoelaces together and pushed them over cliffs.
These little 'trips' I begin with content, I certainly
could begin 'traps' with non-archaeological material and in
very short time depopulate the regulars on the group if I so
choose. I have seen them do it many times so I know how it can
be done and you know if I have the will I will do it. Do you
remember 'curious amatuer'? The demon you know is alot better
than the demon you forgot about so don't tempt it unless
you are very sure that demon is the whole source of the
problem.
