SMPT in Claremont in Less Than Two Weeks

[_Yoda]

Gad---

I owe you an apology. Due to the personal struggles I was going through in hearing about my friend, I missed this particular post of yours:

Actually, what I think is callous here, Trevor, is DCPs use of Liz's supposed "abuse" to further his own ends.

I wonder what Liz would be out here-- let's see, not 10% of her income, she didn't have to sleep with me, I didn't tell her an angel drew a sword to force her to believe, there's a whole lot of things that I haven't done, that the man you praise as second to Christ would have. So if I did lie, which I didn't, then I'd say I'm one of the nicer charlatans around.

(Bold emphasis mine)

I missed this portion of your post. You were stating here that you, in fact, did not lie about presenting.

My response here

It was pretty elaborate satire, though.....it lasted for months....actually close to a year. For those of us who really aren't up on all of these seminars and how they work, we really didn't "get the joke".

Now, who knows? I guess maybe that was part of it, too? Gad was trying to make any of us who weren't "in the know"....even those of us who have basically supported Gad in many of his previous arguments....look foolish. Well, he accomplished his task.

was based on the fact that it seemed like Shades was privy to what you were doing, and was recapping the situation for everyone, based on conversations he had had with you.

Now that you have gone through elaborate lengths to entertain what appears to be a theory of Shades.....it seems clear to me that you were serious about actually speaking.

I do have a question and comment about this statement that you made on your "Part 2" thread:

This is false. It's one of many, many false statements Liz has made and one has to wonder if it is a ruse of her own for the sake of twisting my arm into the clarifications I never gave when she demanded them.

I understand that you are stating that the fact that you created a ruse is false. What did you mean by "many, many false statements"? I honestly don't have any idea what you are talking about. All I did was respond to what I thought was going on, based on what Beastie, Shades, Kish, and countless other posters were saying. And, when I asked you a direct question, it seemed like you danced around it. Again, I found where you did, indeed, answer my question, and since I had honestly missed that answer before, I sincerely apologize.

As far as "twisting your arm", I don't really see how asking you a question I was confused about was twisting your arm.

. . . it seemed like Shades was privy to what you were doing, and was recapping the situation for everyone, based on conversations he had had with you.

To avoid any confusion, I was privy to nothing, and Gadianton & I had no conversations about this matter.

.

[_Gadianton]

for the record shades, only two people *ever* had contacted me about it, and I discussed nothing with them.

I had no discussions about this with anyone, offline.

Liz,

Your not the only one who has problems with Scratchs ad nauseum attacks. Just think of his/her poor, neglected, significant other:

Ok Gaz, credit where credit is due. That was brilliant!

Wife - Are you coming to bed?
Me - Not now I need to read the latest comments on the Book of Abraham
Wife - Can't you do that tomorrow afternoon?
Me - No that's when they are all asleep
Wife - You know you are going to feel tired tomorrow

Next day

Wife - Why are you late home?
Me - I fell asleep on the train and ended up at the terminus.
