    Okay, so you can cut and paste. Do you have any other skills?

    Mikey's MO is showing again. He is so easy to read... (interesting how
    he gets no support from any other posters in the cross posted
    newsgroups...) Kind'a tells you something there...

  2. I submit that on or about Sun, 28 Aug 2005 22:56:22 GMT, the person
    known to the court as Mike Vandeman <[email hidden]> made a
    statement (<[email hidden]> in Your
    Honour's bundle) to the following effect:

    Quoted message said:

    .You tell the truth about mountain biking in the same way Aryan Nation
    .tell the truth about Jews and the Klan tell the truth about black
    .people - i.e. a highly selective and restricted subset of the truth
    .which ignores similar truths about other groups of which you are a
    .member or against which you choose not to wage your impotent hate
    .campaign. There is a handy word to describe the way you tell the
    .truth: bigotry.

    Yes. For example, I can identify a bigoted piece of op-ed
    masquerading as "science" when I see it. What skills do you have,
    other than spamming and glorying in the suffering of others?

    Really? In science, ABSENCE OF DATA doesn't usually tell you anything useful....
    I'm sorry, "science" is probably too big a word for you.

    You just cut & pasted that comment. A robot could have done it. Probably did.

  5. Dear Mike,
    How can you spew on relentlessly about all the killing of animals you do
    when you yourself eat animals???
    Suhi is one of your favorite foods eh, and you like to eat chiken as well?

    Not to mention:

    He lists all of his favorite foods on his website prominently, as
    though it is important to anyone but himself. Apparently people are
    supposed to copy every detail of his perfect life.

    Many of his favorite foods are imported from vast distances, using up
    precious fuel for transportation.

    A real environmentalist, especially living in a state which grows so
    much produce, would choose to eat only locally grown foods.

    Just another example of the unending hypocrisy from Mikie. It proves
    that his campaign is much more about his infinite ego than about the
    environment. He does not care if he is ineffectual, as long as he
    feels he is "winning".

    Happy trails,

    It sounds like you're experiencing bouts of paranoia, Mike.

    Are your real-world friends and family sympathetic to the "harassment" and
    "threats" that you seem to perceive? Or, do they suggest that you are
    overreacting? Have they ever suggested that you should seek professional
    help?

    They do. You just don't know who they are.

    That's BS, as you well know.

    You will now cite the posting ref from which it was taken. Failure to
