Now this is incontrovertible evidence that you are a racist. The fact that you allege that I am responsible for lowering the standards in this forum says it all. As it happens, most of the material I have posted in here happens to be way more insightful and high-minded than what most others have posted. And reading back on earlier posts in the forum, none of that material looks to me to be any more insightful or high-minded than anything posted in here now. The only difference is that way back when, it was a bunch of Anglo-Saxons posting a bunch of juvenile crap, whereas now, it's a multi-ethnic group of people posting a bunch of juvenile crap, whereas I, on the other hand, have consistently made an effort to post intelligent, insightful material, only to have everything I post systematically attacked and criticized by you and your gang of deliquents, Yoda. That says it all. I think a better way of describing it would be, once upon a time, MoFo was a clique of like-minded jerks, and now, it's a place in which fresh, interesting voices have entered into the equation, only to meet stubborn resistance to change from the old gang.

Believe me, it has nothing to do with your so-called "incontrovertible evidence"--a blanket label that you habitually apply to any insubstantial garbage you might spout. Believe me, if I thought that anything you have said in any way threatened my position, I would be the first to refute your words. As it happens, I am turned off by your monotonous droning and your endless deconstructionism, which, it seems to me, is nothing more than a ploy on your part to endlessly get in the last word without having to go through the effort of carrying out an intelligent conversation. Basically, I find your debating style tedious, dull and extremely off-putting, which is why I feel compelled to make an exit.
