Subject: RE: BS: Outbreak of honesty
Wow. (No exclamation point, but said in a Ben Stein deadpan)

I am a topic. Not that I am looking for the attention.

What is interesting is how some posters attack me by "pretending" they are me. I have considered giving up my "guest" position and looking into "the real thing" but probably won't if it also means giving up my privacy. I just haven't gotten around to it because frankly, it is just not that important to me.

As the "real guest Martin Gibson" I have not really attacked any one just to do it. I have in most cases given certain posters a nice dose of honesty from me because:

A. You deserve it.
B. You have anti-semetic undertones.
C. You are complete bullshit.
D. You are very boring and like to make this place so. (Jerry, I know you are reading this and you absolutely have no edge to your posts, and I assume your personality or your music).

The truth hurts. Sorry. Many of you really only post below the line and don't really notice that I tend to post more in the music section. There are many posters here who I do not read either and I do not really care if they read me. I usually don't for one of the reasons I list above.

My thanks to Brucie who I believe does know where I am coming from, and to Amos who though I don't always see eye to eye with, are regulars here who register zero on the bullshit meter.

So, while I contemplate "joining" I do know that there are some here who would really want me to do it, because they know that I do add a certain edge and entertainment to an otherwise sometimes very uninteresting place. I do not claim to have an obsession with it here or even consider it so much a part of their lifestyle as some others do. I just continue to be somewhat curious, contribute anonymously, a part time lurker and one who likes to sometimes jump right in and smack some of you right in the middle of your overly and blindly liberal little face. On another forum that was extremely right wing, I played the same part. Being a man in the middle moderate seems to bring this out in me.
