Dear GeotgeTBP,

You have found a very appropriate Ode to yourself.
Hope your irrationality wont stand in the way….

Dear OTC,

“Really don’t mind if you sit this one out” – Thick As A Brick, Jethro Tull

Dear GeotgeTBP,

You wrote “If you can’t understand the juxtaposition of tea boutique with deep penetration unit (or foot soldier or what have you) that is also part of the problem.”

With what should I juxtapose “deep penetration unit”with? The real problem is your irrationality and inability to state clearly what you mean.

You wrote “The fact that you ask the question “what is wrong with that?” betrays either your preference for a militarizing state or worse still your ignorance of what that means.”

I have given the reasons for my question very clearly in my previous posts. Please reread them lest you have forgotten and counter them point by point.

You wrote “Is it irrational that I should want to live in a secular and pluralistic democracy?“

No it is not irrational.

But finding that Utopia would be a bit difficult as even the UK and USA and most of the Western States are not really secular. Russia and China are perhaps more secular and I don’t think that you want to live there.

Lanka was and is, not a secular state and trying to convert it to a secular state, just because you want to live here, is irrational, as that wish goes against reality.

My Dear Ravana,

If resorting to the Primary school habit of coining nicknames provides you satisfaction, please go ahead but that is no replacement for a rational argument expected from an intelligent Adult.

My post that you are referring to is a point by point reply to yours. If you claim it is disordered and long winded then you should refer back to your own comment. Such claims are typical of a person who is bankrupt and who cannot make a logical counter reply.

You wrote “Have you heard of a figure of speech called irony? My, you seem to carry a long memory of small things. I hope I haven’t traumatised you in some way “

Oh their was no irony involved in your earlier claim that while holidaying in Lanka, with your European wife, the driver of your cab mistook you for a Tamil, due to your dark skin colour and warned you of lurking dangers for Tamils, when you visited the South. That was a cooked up tale that you wrote, to support what you wrote, at that time. You do cook up some tall tales Ravana!!!

As I told you before, I have been on GV for too long and have met guys like you who writes fancy tales that do not stand up to critical scrutiny, to be traumatised by diatribe.

You wrote “don’t worry about DJ and I. We do understand each other and even respect each other. ”

Ravana, I am not worried at all but I do enjoy DJ’s replies to your tripe. As to whether DJ respects you is a matter for DJ to state. However I cannot remember him congratulating you for any of your comments!!! Respect huh?

You wrote “I can’t help it if you are not in the league”

Ravana, you are not in DJ’s league and assuming so, exposes your egoistic mind. It is presumptuous to say the least.

You wrote “I just couldn’t be bothered wading through it. Don’t be bitter.”

You of course have the liberty to read or not read what I write. You also have the liberty to refrain from replying to what I write.

You wrote “Just write a shorter reply with some original argument next time”

I write to expose the false claims made by you or anyone else, on GV and ONLY for the benefit of the GV Readership. I do not care whether you read and make a coherent reply or do not read and make a buffoon’s reply such as your October 21, 2011 • 3:41 pm comment.

Assuming that I am interested in whether you read my comments or reply to them is quite egoistic and foolish.

Dear Nihal

“a large portion of whose members build viharas during the daytime and hand out tea to Southern tourists, with another bunch dressing up as Grease Yakas during midnight hours to rob gold jewelry.”

What is your evidence that they are dressing as Grease Yakas? And why strip down naked as greasing themselves when they can simply wear masks and bring weapons to intimidate people?

BTW, How do you like militarization of the country, dear Ravana? You approve it?

Thanks!

Correction. Ex-Military General.
Obviously, many thought that risking their lot with an ex-General was better than risking the worst with the village thug. Everyone’s worst nightmares have now come true. The ruthlessness with which he has established his dictatorship indicates a bitter man who is very angry at the Sri Lankan public.
If Elmo Perera (http://www.lankaenews.com/Sinhala/news.php?id=12851) is correct then it explains such venom.
OTOH, the “General” whom some people were fearful of has turned out to be quite the example of a disciplined and dignified politician.

My Dear Ravana;

“As I have returned after a few days break I am yet to reply to your revelation of an illicit liaison with one Wathsala from a DBSJ column (as occurs on another article on this site on a reply to DBJS). A very school boyish attempt at denying Tamil rights and their genetic closeness to us. Expect a detailed critique when I have an hour or so.”

Do it soon. Why delaying? The school boy is awaiting you.

Thanks! (Yuppie)

Nihal Perera,

Well said, Ravana

No worries mate.
