a= holy eminence and greatness destined to bring all to the= light.  No matter how much we protest that we don't care= to know his particular view of unequality brimming as it is,= with is associated  meanness,  and that there= are others other who do not contaminate this particular= subject and list with their trembling, venomous= "specialness",   SPEW insists on bringing to the= discussion, for our own sake, his unique, incomprehensibly,= at least to others,  advanced but unequal view - this he= must do for our own= enlightenment.       Either way, the= greatness of SPEW is confirmed in the reactions of the poor,= ignorant, misunderstanding masses of the list as= these reactions  confirm to himself what he believes,= not withstanding his babbling , half-spoken claims= otherwise,  - he is the greatest genius of all time and= must be recognized or else must suffer the= cleansing, sanctifying distinction and  martrydom = of the misunderstood, unreceived and unrecognized prophet= -  either way the pettiness of his vile conceit is= complete.  His greatness is= confirmed.        New readers= of this list will be seduced by the momentary rational and= well stated cases to be made for his unequal view, and think= they were participating in a discussion of an interesting,= worthy subject, which it is,  and that with a lucid,= well-expressed advocate, and which, at the moment may well= be, and who may be, at that moment, brimming with useful= facts.  .    Ah, but such is not the= case.  An illusion has been created.  Participants= are merely the sacrificial lambs of the greatness of SPEW and= will, indeed, come to such painful realization as time= passes.   Were they warned away by older readers= of the list such warnings would be, pridefully, ignored as= not consistent with their true spirit of reasonableness and= understandably so, and for this reason I think this list= should have a mechanism put in place to eliminate a= contributor whose purposes are like those of= SPEW.       These purposes are not= what they should be, which is the discussion of differing= and, perhaps controversial, professional points of view, in= an attempt to improve professional understanding, and, or= at least should be, in a spirit of collegiality,  but= rather personal objectives of  a mind which needs, I am= sure, but sadly, disdains help.    Such= disorder then is brought to the list for its= own purposes.        = Long time readers will know what both the  forthcoming= and numerous apologies of the past mean and have meant: = SPEW is afraid of inattention and his unequal temperament= will wax sweet and rational in this fear to calm the= antagonism he has raised against him, for he must have the= confused, misunderstanding and imperfect views shown in= the posts we make to use as a canvas on which to paint his= greatness for all to see.  The best solution for this is= a complete lack of response to any post, however informative= and well expressed,  as they are simply hooks in the= water trolling to catch another victim, which will then= be used to perpetuate the, forthcoming, vain, obsessive= meanness of SPEW when disagreement is= encountered.      Unlike my view of the= obsessive postings of SPEW, which must be stoically= endured,  I appreciate very much the original, lucid= and rational views expressed by Ed Foote whether I agree with= him or not, and, in general, I do,  and want to express= my thanks to him for setting the record straight and for his= courage for doing so,  notwithstanding the fact, as I am= sure knew, that he would then become the target of= the viscious abuse seen on this list= lately.       Once the storm= of  SPEW's abuse has ended, as it will,  we= should not be seduced by the upcoming, sincere, heart-felt= apology into thinking, ah, now things will change with SPEW,= something  which, I am sure, we all would like. = The cycle, if perpetuated by responses,= will continue.
