EXPOSE
Mirage et al,
It's all smoke and mirrors .... you are being duped into thinking it's real, the only thing that was/is/will be real is me telling all about it.
...
Do you like being taken for a 'sucker'? I don't ... hence the effort at exposing this charade that requires participation from you, the unwitting audience.
All the degrading insults, the non-sensical repetition, the imaginary trolls and so on are part of a ruse that's been going on for a long time.
Look around and you'll see who the players are, there was maybe one or two outside trolls originally but since then it's nothing but lies from a few individuals ...
Do you want to be part of it? Are you going to put up with it?
Are you here for a 'dinner production' or do you want to talk lotto with new friends?
Brad,
Since my name was dragged into this, well, now I feel I have to respond. I have to stand up for what I feel, and I feel patronized by so many here. But I just accept the subtle patronizations and let them roll off, as it's the experience and the knowledge that I'm after. Yeah, it's primarily a male dominated board but whatever.
The guy is not so much some "troll" as he really is from a different world. Or do you put quite a few on this board into the same box? The above comments are not really fair. I'm not being duped so don't think that I am. I would expect that most on this board consider themselves "real players" or else they wouldn't have the courage to post and stick it out. So who exactly are you talking about as not being real players? What do you mean, it's nothing but lies from a few individuals? In your own view or this other person's? How can you speak for anyone but yourself? Except for a few individuals most of those posting on this board are quite respectful... You are only a "sucker" if you want to be. I for one, am aware that it's all been "smoke and mirrors" from pretty much the start, and yeah, he can be a bully, but he's a "trickster" character. In some cultures that's the theatre of the soul and it's part of that culture's reality. Like said elsewhere, the world he was born into was virtual - surreal.
The unhappy truth is, people are never on top for very long. Once, many moons ago, he was doing relatively well. But to go around bragging that you are number one (expecially when you already have some psychological complexes going on) is just setting yourself up for a nasty fall. It's totally naive behaviour. This was all too obvious - from the beginning! The inevitable fall, then the ego really hurts so the only way to defend the ego is to hurl insults and offences at every one else. And to persist in this behaviour to the point where believing it yourself, is a road to being certifiable. So it's sad, not a reason for anyone to get up on some soap box.
Dinner production indeed. I expect people to be mature enough to remain friends and to continue to talk lotto.
There, I've said my piece. Have a good night.
