I will try to depart from this with this last post
Definitions of Paranoia Paranoid Characteristics: Persecution, Grandeur (delusions)
Pattern 1 - Persecution ...
Paranoic person: 'They' are out to 'get' (me,us) ! Rational observer: Who are they ? Paranoic person: Them ! Rational observer: Where are they - point one out ? Paranoic person: They are everywhere ! Rational observer: I can't determine who they, or where these 'they', are ! Paranoic person: Back off man, you are probably one of them !
Pattern 2 - Grandeur
Paranoic person: I am on a mission to save the (world, country, group) Rational observer: What are you going to save (world, country, group) from ? Paranoic person: Those who are out to harm (world, country, group) or even themselves ! Rational observer: Who are they ? (now switch to persecution thread)
*****************************************
My points ?
1) The above are two *realistic* interpretations of Paranoia and Paranoid.
2) Switch 'them' with (lefties, liberals, saddam lovers etc:)
Then start asking who in IWETHEY best fits the patterns.
Cheers

CRC - 'facts' are there is no element of
'Them' out to get (us,me) in the exchange sequence.
This is a barnyard scrap long in the brewing (based on Scott's detour back to MM etc:). It was triggered by Scott taking a poke after I made a post [link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=94171|http://z.iwethey.org...w?contentid=94171] and him making his 'excessive paranoia' quit.
The most you can argue is that I am giving scott a hard time over the meaning of the words Paranoia & Paranoid. He is using a dumbed down definition in defense of his comment and I am using the accepted medical definition. That part of the scrap doesn't constitue paranoia in itself.
It must also be obvious that most of us are under stress, the war (again Scott doesn't like the things I say about US/Brit involvement, he brought that up), in addition Scott has just been through a violent house storm & I am trying to land a job. All factors that make people testy.
So perhaps we should just let this fire burn out even if it does not appear to have resolved anything. To Scott I say, I won't be holding any grudges, isn't it about time he got over MM etc:.
Hookay

Yeah, sure, but rest assured...
...that what's "dumbed down" here is the FACT THAT YOU ARE giving Scott "a hard time" over the meaning of the words 'paranoia' and 'paranoid'. What he is using is a perfectly ordinary everyday definition that, as he showed, HAS long ago graduated from "collocquialism" to dictionary-worthy.
And what DOES constitute paranoia (in THIS sense!) on your part, is your immediate jumping to the erroneous conclusion that he was (or fucking well SHOULD be -- why the HELL should he?) -- using the stupid fucking clinical "accepted medical definition". What the fuck IS this place, you think -- a clinical psychologist convention?!?
Furthermore, A) If hunting for a job makes you too fucking "testy" to behave like a fucking civilized human being, why don't you just shut the fuck up until you've got one? and,
B) What the FUCK kind of an excuse for "being testy" is "the war"?!? Are you labouring under the delusion that this American-Army-Live-Ammo-Excercise-cum-Televised-Video-War-Game has ANY fucking immediate bearing on ANYTHING, if you're not either i) in the American Army, ii) an Iraqi, or iii) a major Haliburton/Exxon/Shell-BP shareholder? If you are, you seriously need to get your head out of your arse. It's fucking *entertainment*! (_Absurd_ entertainment, yeah, sure -- but it's TOO freaking absurd to be taken as anything BUT entertainment!)
BTW, you also need to do that in relation to China being in any way a paragon of fucking anything; "Cybermace" may be an annoying little twat, but he IS right that the Chinese are just thugs, and that them having been thugs *for a long time* is certainly nothing to drool with admiration for them about.
Oh, and of course you *doubly* need to get your head out of your arse if you think you're going to get away with yet another instance of this highly annoying habit of yours: Repeated high-faluting gibbering about how something will be your "last post in this thread" -- and then NOT shutting the fuck up and letting someone ELSE have the last word, for fucking oncce.
No fucking WAY, Bubba.

Screeching silverback slings shit, starts savage gorilla war
There there BIG boy, now put that tree trunk down and while your at it you can drop those fistfuls of feces (yeccchhh, your covered in the stuff). That's it slowly does it now get back in yer frigging cage, theres a nice cold schnapps in there somewhere...
CLANGGG !!! (yup, that Schnapps trick works every time)
RIGHT now LOOK HERE you five foot foaming fang faced foul featured flea flecked filthy furry flatulant fecund friggin freak, thats enough! NO MORE BANNANAS for a month, and yer off the Schnapps as well.
And while we are at it leave-the-friggin-Pandas-alone !!! they never did anything to annoy you. Fer chissake, it only takes a mention of how good Pandas are and you become excessively 'bear-annoyed'.
And, it just isn't good enough to claim your bad behaviour was triggered because someone had ruffled the feathers of the Antarctic Owl. He can fly without your interference. Sheesh, everyone knows it is your mouth that is the scourge of this whole friggin zoo.
And another complaint, you already know the Zoo's resident psychiatrist Dr Orin Ootan, and his assistant Jim Pansee, well they are seriously concerned at your repeated tendancy to oral aggression.
To be sure, no one minds the odd bite here or there but you have bitten just about everyone in this damned place. SO!!! To teach you a lesson we are moving you, for a whole week, in with Mr Ali Ghayta & his whole extended family. If that doesn't cure you of your biting fetish nothing will.
Orin & Jim have also reminded us of your famous and unhealty obsession with crude sexual matters. It is well known that you can hardly open your mouth without talking about sexual acts (and that is the real reason we are confiscating your bananas).
Enough is enough - learn to behave, of its off to the fur factory for you big boy.

So, trying to make a joke of it, eh? Too fucking bad...
...for you that I was being perfectly fucking serious. ...drop those fistfuls of feces (yeccchhh, your covered in the stuff). If anyone here's got egg all over his face, it's YOU, shit-face! RIGHT now LOOK HERE you five foot foaming fang faced foul featured flea flecked filthy furry flatulant fecund friggin freak, thats enough! Five foot nine, fuckyouverymuch... And what's "enough" is, as I said, your a) stupid attack on Scott (we're still waiting for the apology, and above all, for you to even ADMIT you were wrong), b) your sickening fawning over the thuggish Chinks (not that I've checked in your silly WarGame Forum, but I'll *bet* you haven't retracted on that either), and c) your vapid and irrational excuses. Oh, and your pathetic attempts at what you apparently consider "humour" are getting pretty old, too. Yes, right from the get-go -- they're *born* stale. NO MORE BANNANAS for a month, and yer off the Schnapps as well. If anyone needs to lay off the sauce, it is you, Bubba -- then *maybe* you'll be able to spell 'banana'. And while we are at it leave-the-friggin-Pandas-alone !!! they never did anything to annoy you. Fer chissake, it only takes a mention of how good Pandas are and you become excessively 'bear-annoyed'. Pandas suck. And, since it seems you're using "pandas" as a code-word for Chinese, they suck too. And, it just isn't good enough to claim your bad behaviour was triggered because someone had ruffled the feathers of the Antarctic Owl. He can fly without your interference. Sheesh, everyone knows it is your mouth that is the scourge of this whole friggin zoo. Huh?!? What fucking "owl" are you gibbering about? (Norm's buddy? But he's a she, and has nothing what-the-fuck-ever to do with this...) Scott? Yeah, of fucking COURSE *he* can defend himself -- but then, who the fuck said it was *him* I was "defending"?!? It's *myself* I'm trying to protect -- from having to read too much more of your UTTER FUCKING DRIVEL! And another complaint, you already know the Zoo's resident psychiatrist Dr Orin Ootan, and his assistant Jim Pansee, well they are seriously concerned at your repeated tendancy to oral aggression. Fuck your monkey buddies, Bubba... You *know* that's what you really *want* to do, you old simiophile, so go ahead; don't let me stop you. To be sure, no one minds the odd bite here or there but you have bitten just about everyone in this damned place. Only when they needed it. And you, Mister Magic Marker, were long overdue. Orin & Jim have also reminded us of your famous and unhealty obsession with crude sexual matters. It is well known that you can hardly open your mouth without talking about sexual acts (and that is the real reason we are confiscating your bananas). As I said, fuck your furry buddies, and fuck you too. If that's too awkward (what, not even if you stand on a chair?), then let them do it... Anyway, the bananas-as-phallos-symbols gimmick is, I would have thought, too crudely simplistic even for a simpering baboon like you. Enough is enough - learn to behave, of its off to the fur factory for you big boy. And to the glue factory with you -- or is that only horses' *bones* they make glue from, not horses' arses?

How the FUCK does me not remembering some OTHER guy imply I don't know *Dudley*?!? (It *doesn't*, except you don't know DIDDLY!)
Hey, it's been two or three decades since I used to watch him on the tube, so it's no big fucking wonder I'd forgotten the name of the standing villain (? or, again judging from the name, possibly a lawyer), is it?

quit being, for lack of a better word, a me. This argument can server no further purpose than to keep the flames going.
My advice to you is to just end your posts, and don't reply to any more of them in this thread and let it go. Life goes on without more gas on the fire.
