It's not nice of you to come down on Eki like that. We should all admire him for standing up for the Weak, Innocent, Defenseless and generally nice people of this world.
Eki, I salute you!

Yes...well you know, Rani, he loves democracy and freedom so much that he never says anything about such paragons of virtue and freedom....Quote:

I have to admit I’ve even adopted some of his tactics after reading his #1 best seller, The Manifesto Of Eki. Such as Chapter 3, Paragraph 2: ‘Public forums should be regarded like family reunions; never ever admit that you’re “wrong.”
How was I losing? How can anyone win? Who are the referees?Quote:

Too much of anything is too much.Quote:

When you lose any argument or anyone refutes directly your "facts" you either dig up more Wiki factoids to change the argument or just let it degenerate in another direction. IN short, you have hijacked more threads than any other poster on Chit Chat. Which is fine...we do have a good time with it...but please spare me this theory you don't..and you are about balance...
I have been on the same side of many threads with you at times, and against you at other times, so if anyone is about balance, I would wager it is me. I took a beating on the thread about the Apache helicopter guntape release from people usually on my side of the political fence. I think I am the guy who does the balance thing on occasion, but I wouldn't pretend to be politically neutral. I don't know if there is such a person on this board.
I didn't say only. I said they started to dig up dirt on him only after he wrote that essay and said what he said in it. Before that they weren't even interested in him.Quote:
