I think that hiatus means "not posting".
I've sent a staff member, upon his request, a link to this thread. I see no recourse other than to send links to various threads where you've attacked people, because it's quite clear that you aren't going to stop of your own accord. You and Fester have both been calling me "deluded" for a while now. I post a suggestion to PatriotGames, giving an idea on how to search for the leak in her underground waterpipe and he calls me "deluded" or some such. It's clear which people here are mentally healthy and which are not. You really think that the world revolves around you. Up to four years ago I was habitually working 15 hour days four days a week and it isn't such a problem for me to do 12 hour days even at 72 because I'm pretty healthy. Yet you want to believe that not posting is something to do with you.
So let's go down that path. Hypothetically, if my not posting for nine or ten days were really on account of you, then why would it be? Would it be because you are unfailingly polite, courteous and considerate to other users here?
Or would it be due to something else, perhaps? Do you imagine that maybe you've behaved in such a way that I might not want to post here due to your bad behaviour, perhaps? Or would that be admitting too much? You habitually "accuse" others of living in a fantasy land and being deluded etc. I think the majority of people here know who's living in a fantasy world. But of course, most people don't like to answer you back. They know it's inviting trouble with a capital T and I'm completely fed up of seeing it happen to hundreds of people here, on your covid thread and so on. So I decided to take a stand against your consistent abuse of this site. If they don't do something about your behaviour, then the site isn't worth anything anyway.
You can't get anywhere with the mods by lumping me in with other posters or vice versa.
This narrative is also delusional, which is not an "attack" word unlike the low IQ adjectives you have habitually called people over the years. Fester is not even here. The Covid thread has little to no traffic in 2023. There's no "hundreds" (you've also said thousands several times in the past) of people reporting me. You said I believe that your not posting has something to do with me, but what I actually said was that it was probably due to your fantasy of a trolling "investigation" falling apart. If you equate that with only me (and you don't, because you constantly refer to the cabal of posters who are trying to take you down, lol), then whose obsession is that...?
You have said a gazillion times that you know what the majority thinks here, and you've even claimed to be speaking on their behalf in spite of the evidence, which is that you have a handful of people who sort of side with you, but who are quick to distance themselves when you are going off the beam.
These are the realities here. Apparently you can force yourself to take a break, but you can't stop yourself from casting aspersions the moment you begin posting again.
Try this exercise...the next time you have an urge to make an "in context" comment (which for you means taking the flimsiest pretext for launching into your usual crusade) about a mysterious poster or group of posters, just sit on your hands until you find a better move. If you were half as smart as you claim to be, you would understand why the mods don't buy into your persecution complex...you are clearly an instigator and willing participant.
I think you're the one who's extremely confused. Just because Diogenes is causing trouble again is no reason for you to be so confused.
I would recommend, rather than making a sort of complex and convoluted hotch-potch of a post, address it calmly and systematically. I'm not going to get involved in answering what amounts to a personal attack disguised as convoluted rubbish. Stop getting so personally involved because I thought we were getting on ok and this kind of personally-motivated nonsense is something you have often slipped into before. Take your tablets or whatever and try to be on point and address the subject and not the person. If you do this again I'm never going to respond to you, ever again. OK?
I am not part of any kind of anti-Optimissed alliance; I often find your posts interesting/informative. I agree with a lot of what you say.
I urge you to read your latest post as if it were addressed to you, and take your own advice to heart. The endless claims of your superlative memory, intellectual ability, and all-encompassing knowledge, combined with the inevitable virulent attacks on anyone who questions these assertions, is what draws down the disapprobation of so many other contributors (and the moderators) upon you..
