Quoted message said:Ever notice how it's always all about HIM? How HE has to fit into every single thread he enters;
how HE has to be the expert; how well HE can put someone down for little or no reason; how HIS
dirty, filthy mind has to inject [censored] into most of the comments he makes? The "how HE" could go on
in finitum, but to really enumerate would serve no purpose. Jesu Christe, I'm sick to death of it.
No one can have a normal "conversation" here without his insulting and demeaning, or crude and
lewd remarks. I guess
he
Quoted message said:has never recognized the fact that this isn't a porno site or one where people seek abuse.
The occasional recipes or constructive comments that HE occasionally posts is not entitlement to
run roughshod over a group of very enlightened and interesting people the majority of the time.
I know there's no solution. His followers won't let him go, and he wouldn't go even if they did.
I'm afraid he'll be a blot on the landscape of rfc until the day he dies.
Flame away...I know you will.
_Desiderata_
"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far
as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and
clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid
loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter; for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in
your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind
you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of
heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the
face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of
the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with
dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be
gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you
have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding
as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and
aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and
broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy."
--- Max Ehrmann, 1927
