[MD] Dividing the Tao: Q&A with Fear and Trembling

[Horse]

Case

What I think is that you need to grow up and stop acting like a whining 
idiot.
If you want to discuss Robert Pirsigs MoQ like an adult, with other 
adults, that's fine.
If you want to behave like a retarded teenager who thinks it's funny to 
tweak the moderators nose then go join the 'I Love Justin Bieber' fan 
club forum - I'm sure you'll find plenty of people with a similar mental 
age and outlook.
I have now had to waste my time for a second instance because of your 
stupid and egotistical behaviour - it won't happen again. I have more 
important things to do than play nursemaid to you and your ego - either 
grow up or go away.

On the assumption that you can behave like an adult who is interested in 
proper discussion I will answer your questions as if that's true.

Then perhaps you should refer him to a good clinical psychologist or 
therapist and get him some help.

The clock starts and finishes at midnight GMT - my timezone. Everyone 
else seems to be able to deal with this so I imagine it's unlikely to be 
beyond even your, apparently, limited capabilities. If it is then you're 
in the wrong discussion group.

Four posts per twenty four hour period from midnight to midnight GMT

As Case and Krimel are the same person, you have four posts. Label them 
as either Case or Krimel, it makes no difference to me but keep it to 
four posts.

How nice! However, as I recall, the last time I removed someone it was 
for being an annoying twat. Marc Smit, or who ever he is, did go over 
the post limits on several occasions but this wasn't why he was removed. 
Like you, he thought it was amusing to behave like a fool. As 
moderator/list owner I don't need any excuses or justifications for 
removing someone other than I don't want them here. It's that simple.
I think you have plenty of interesting things to say but if you want to 
behave childishly and act the fool I'll treat you in the same way that a 
teacher treats a child who is being pointlessly and egotistically 
disruptive and remove you from the classroom.

I hope I have made my position crystal clear.
