I hope the pic I've posted to this is up. But I doubt you'll ever see the subjects of this post, Slimes Bandler, Jones, et al, I've got a suspicion they're posting from a tissue hewn room at mommy's; perhaps posting your photos could put paid to that notion, chaps?
You’re not going to like this Linz, so my most constructive suggestion before starting is to read my final paragraph first.
Here’s my theory. You have allowed your intellectual stoush with Yaron Brook – and I don’t know the whys of that – to overflow to a personal animosity with that 'camp' which Slime Bandler feeds on to spread evil here.
[Important note: the below was written before Slime Bandler outed himself on the Israel thread as a holocaust denying anti-Semite. The total full evil nutjob on speed. However, I still have relevant points to make.]
My time on SOLO does now end on these words of yours, quoting you from this loathsome thread: http://www.solopassion.com/node/10357
Doug, Grant and [redacted] lack the courage of what they purport to be their convictions, even though their convictions are, for the most part, sound.
Given all that proceeded on that thread, and now the Slime (Bandler) on your Israel thread, I think your judgement is far from sound anymore. So, sorry, but I am calling you on it Linz.
I find it stunning that the ludicrous '3 reasons women shouldn't have a vote' thread is Slime calling for women to have the vote taken from them ONLY because they are women, a premise repugnant to the central principles of liberty, and individualism - which you should know as self-evident - but you think Slime is ‘for the most part, sound’ (?!?!) in his convictions.
No. As I said, if you want to attack welfarism then you attack the welfare state, not the women's franchise. End of.
You say, Linz, that there are no arguments from me for you to answer on that thread, but have evaded my direct question to you of how is such a premise consistent with individualism? (Look at my post on Friday, 17.03). Early in the thread you deliberately diverted attention from it to your voter test (which I said I had no problem with) in order to not broach the topic of the thread itself, but then when I asked the question again, you evaded again by saying ‘you’re waiting for my argument’. You never let me hold you to that question, therefore. Is the central premise of Slime on that thread consistent with individualism and liberty?
One good thing, I reckon, is that in your subsequent Israel thread (and you’re right on that topic by the way) you would now have a growing disquiet on Slime Bandler. Let’s look at him again. I have shown on his women hater thread how Slime Bandler is without doubt a misogynist. But also on that thread, his only mention of Ayn Rand was to frame her from Jewishness, for no particular reason at all. That is a huge red alert. In my experience, the deeply anti-Semitic neo-Nazis work exactly via that type of framing– it’s takes you straight into their evil minds. Three times I asked Slime why he thought it important to frame Ayn from Jewishness but latterly he evades by not interacting to my face, rather starting another thread, behind my back, ludicrously calling me a Lefty because I'm shock, horror, a peace loving hippy. For those who think me a Lefty reading my blog Life Behind the IRon Drape will quickly disabuse you.
And now we find on your Israeli thread, Linz, surprise, surprise, the Slime, quote, 'doesn’t support America fighting Israel’s wars', because ‘he doesn’t hold with Zionism’. You are surely not so stupid as to buy that with all this evidence of anti-Semitism, race hate and misgyony (are you?) His hatred of women and blacks, Hispanics, et al, are so extreme he (unbelievably) just comes straight out with it here with his idiot biological (Aryan) determinism, and he does so un-checked, ever, by you, but even Slime has just enough intelligence to know not to come out in the open, here, with his anti-Semitism, so on the Israeli thread, like the snake he is, he speaks out the side of his mouth. I bet Slime would be happy to see the Jewish state sacked. See if you can pin the joyless, humourless swine Slime down to this question: who does he hate most, an Islamist or a successful liberal Jewish businesswoman? Hold on, too easy, businessman?
This is a significant sentence from Slime on Israel thread:
Objectivists do not understand because they can't see past "philosophical premises
... Yeah, Slime just bypasses philosophy direct to his bigoted, insane biological determinism which leads him to misogyny, blatant racism and anti-Semitism. Your unsound judgement aside, Linz, I thought this site was about philosophical premises. Is it not?
Slime’s the full hate site trawling Nazi package spreading his fascist bile here: there is no room for doubt on that. I had him pinned from my first post three days ago, and yet not only do you continue to give him a free pass, you think his judgement ‘mostly sound’?
Well you have little judgement left.
Here’s the further problem, read all the posts on the ludicrous ‘3 reasons women shouldn’t have a vote’ and you can see you’ve enough airhead males in here for the Nazi Slime to be recruiting his own goon militia. Gregster was a sad surprise to me, due to long past good faith dealings I don’t have the stomach to keep eviscerating him here for his snowflake identity policing. However, the vile creature, Grant, has proven to be a special case of unchecked evil. I had him tagged early, also, but even I wasn’t ready for his full thuggishness. Let’s take a good look at Wowser Grant (wowser, from me, is as big opprobrium as Nazi by the way).
He is one of the majority of males posting to this ‘liberty’ site who is against my legal choice to have euthanasia as an option, despite such a basic right has no call on them (they can die as they wish). And these airheads think themselves champions of liberty … what a joke. That issue, like drug legalisation, is always my litmus test for calling out rights trampling fascists. Fine, to there, no biggy re SOLO, but look at what he went on to threaten me with. The worst was his sermon on my drinking, calling me an alcoholic, etc etc, because I was enjoying my second bottle of wine over Christmas. Sorry, but Wowser Man’s a joyless fuck for that, unforgivable. Below that two almost as bad things, quoting him:
Buy a bottle of sleeping pills already.
In this line, Linz, he was telling me to kill myself. Now, per my treatment on that thread I found this wowser wank hilarious, but a blog with standards would have frog marched him off on that. You never mentioned it. Then this:
Maybe he [that’s me] can go into a Maori bar, start an argument and give it a try. I'd pay a dollar to see that.
That’s SS Private - he's definitely a follower, no leader - Grant saying he’d pay money to see me get beaten up by a Maori man. As I said, of course he picks a Maori bar - which, ahem, don't exist - because in his mono-brain he, like Slime, is a racist. No wonder he previously made the vow, on my ‘nastiness’, to only post on Slime’s women, race and now Jew hating threads. Again, Linz, a blog with standards … You let it go. Fine, but lousy judgement.
Seriously, I wouldn’t give Private Grant a gun licence, and I wouldn't feel overly safe with him around my person. (Laughably, I note his last comment to the thread was to go all cry baby asking how you gave yours truly such latitude to call him names – when the only names I ever called him were hyphenated what he wanted to do to me (ie, his own words) LOL).
Again, again, again, I find Private Grant comical. But a thug. And Slime’s a whole new order of evil. Although I couldn’t care about all that also, only you, Linz, and SOLO. Your judgment has gone. Which gets me back to my opening theory, patronising as that might be.
Penultimate point. People seem to think virtual friends are somehow lesser than face to face ones. Just as I believe you are what you believe (Abstract Andrew), I believe they are the same. SOLO currently has some chaps who I would have no association with face to face, they’re awful, really, really awful, so why would I stick around here and associate with them? Answer: of course, I wouldn’t.
In ending, I could never be an Objectivist because I will go to huge lengths to hold out for an old loyalty to a friend (read formative mentor in liberty), over ideas. So you have my loyalty, but you don't have my support. You are giving free reign to an outright Nazi – the first Nazi I know of being supported by a New Zealand blog, and you’re letting him grow a following on SOLO for Rand’s sake. So cordially I’m out for good. Do come see Mrs H and I in Sounds, however, please: perhaps we can fix this with alcohol.
My previous merit awards for arseholery:
Life time ban from commenting on Labour Party' Red Alert.
Life time ban from commenting on The Standard(less)
And for balance:
Life time ban from commenting on Whale Oil.
(Ironically Slater banned me from where he was drinking in a pub in Fiji. I was arguing the toss over euthanasia with a Christian doctor. Slater brought his full journalistic professionalism to play, deleting every one of my comments and leaving the Christian nutjob's up.)
