>That is exactly what I am telling you. You have involved yourself personally with the idiot, and now you waste space communicating in private languages and perverse jokes all the while trying to play cyber policeman. What is your purpose?

So, you're trying to pick on me because I /dare/ to be diplomatic to an extent, and /dare/ communicate with the other side. It does not, you know, change my stance about that RIC is plain out wrong and that circumcision for "medical reasons" should be avoided in favour of alternate and more sensible treatment like medicine (dermatological treatments in the first place) or forced skin growth.

Virtual policeman. Do you not see that the usual arguments of this board hinder its purpose? Do you not agree that bitching at each other will not help the lurkers? Do you not agree we should focus about actually "entertaining" our visitors with /information/ rather than keeping up the speculation and throat-biting on each side?

Perverse jokes. You're not obliged to read those if they offend your somewhat conservative beliefs. I think I do have enough decency, though, to not be too rough on people who are not of the flexible mind and I do keep my levels low.

Private languages. I urge you to re-read the circumstances of switching to Dutch, and realise that the only reason I had done so, was to try and explain Harmen what people here meant in English, seeing as how he might have misunderstood them, Paul B. in the first place. Also realise that quite an amount of it has been translated into English, so you should really not pick on this.

Do not forget one thing, Jim, I'm with a big chunk of my heart for the cause and that doesn't change. To lighten the mood of this board or try and /actually/ communicate rather than have stupid forking holy wars here, is something that serves the people who come here for advice, believe it or not. With all the bitching that's around here we're just making big arses out of our faces, Jim, and not making quite an amount of people feel comfortable. While this is also true for the other side of this board, I should say, I do not care if /they/ try their best and make arses our of themselves, for at least, that helps us and what Nature intended.

As to how and why and about what I communicate with AJ or Harmen, is /not/ your problem. I reserve the right to chat with anyone I want to, and I also will say again that AJ happens to be okay on ICQ. That does not negate his deeds and his almost racistic hate trips against the "anti-circ community" as shown well on this and the previous page.

Love it or leave it. This is me and that's how I'm going to behave here. I wish I knew who shoved something up your rear lately, but you're extremely picky nowadays.
