Response to a Classic Defense PostReader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men Submitted by Straight_Talk_Luigi (United States), Mar 8, 2014 at 23:11 STL, MY COMMENTS ON THIS BOARD ARE AS VALID FOR POSTING AS YOURS ARE, I don't make that decision. SO LET ME ADVISE YOU NOT TO ASSUME THAT ANYTHING FROM THIS RESPONSE OF YOURS WILL CAUSE ME TO AQUIESE TO YOUR VERY NARROW PERSPECTIVE. There's nothing narrow about taking things on a case by case basis. And I would hope in your case that you would concede to reality by understanding that the interest your man has is your wallet. Wake-up, Sue! Your story is no different, no more special, no more unique. STL..."DOTH PROTEST TOO MUCH METHINKS", AND SINCE YOU SAY YOU HAVE DEFENDED YOURSELF ON THIS POINT BEFORE, MY OBSERVATIONS ARE NOT ATYPICAL AND PERHAPS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ON! Your observations are atypical for this blog and are not even close to being "right on." Your too obsessed by your man's appearance, and I'll bet you're older than he is, which is another red flag and would be another reason why you are so passionate about defending all this nonsense. I MENTIONED NOTHING ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES, You didn't have too; your posts speak for themselves on this. BUT I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS TERM TO THE DISCOURSE. DO I THINK THAT YOU ARE INVOLVED IN PERPETRATING A SPECIFIC MINDSET WITH INTENT TO SWAY BEHAVIOR, YOU BET YOUR SWEET BIPPY I DO, AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE ON THIS BLOG WITH THIS INTENT, So then…..who else do you think is lying in order to keep out Muslims? NOR DO I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE REPRESENTING YOURSELVES TRUTHFULLY. I am, and I'm quite sure that most posters at least think they are telling the truth. YOUR SPECIFIC AX HAS BEEN GRINDING FOR TOO LONG AND HAS BEEN TOO FAR REACHING TO BE COMING FROM THE SINGULAR PLACE OF LOVER'S DISAPPOINTMENT. I'm coming from an objective viewpoint of a male who is within the age range of a lot of the men discussed on here, who has grown up in the internet era and who has about nine years of on and off on-line dating experience. YOU HAVE AN AGENDA FROM WHICH YOU ARE PROFITING IN SOME WAY, As appealing as that can sound, sorry, I don't make money off this. AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU MAKE YOUR LIVELIHOOD BY RESPONDING THROUGH MULTIPLE FAKE BLOG PERSONALITIES ON HERE. LOL! The old sock puppet routine! I think you need to closer at this blog, Sue! See, every time on this site a comment is posted the country is listed by the username. I can't make it to Egypt, the UK, Kuwait, Japan ect. to post from an internet café just to throw you off and feed tin foil-type ideas about this blog. PERHAPS YOU TRACK MULTIPLE BLOGS THAT PERMIT YOU TO SPEW YOUR VENOMOUS IDEAS ABOUT MUSLIMS. Considering that I've had a Muslim roommate for a few months, an Egyptian roommate for a brief as well as other Muslims I've had in my life, I really don't harbor hatred or "venomous ideas" about them. In fact, I've spent more time in the same building/apartment or whatever with Muslims than many of the women on here romantically involved with them. Sorry, there's no secret agenda to hate Islam on here. It's really pathetic, Sue, that you have to attempt to smear me to feel better about your situation. A FEW OBSERVATIONS: THANKS FOR POSTING MY COMMENTS AGAIN FOR ALL TO SEE. I'm going to have to burst your bubble purely from a technical writing perspective. Typing in all caps actually makes your posts HARDER to read. Also, your comments may be repeated, but they are also easily and successfully refuted J I'M NEW ON HERE, AND MY PERSPECTIVE IS A 180 FROM YOURS. Yeah, but you're not saying anything I haven't heard contextually before. In fact, I used to be just like you when I was in an on-line relationship. Maybe not quite as defensive, and I didn't write on-line every other week or so about how great my relationship was and how awesome my partner's ethnicity was, but the patterns are similar. In short: You may be new, but what you are saying is the same old lame arguments. YOU WANT TO DISCREDIT ME – Sue, the fact that you've come on here angrily defending whatever your situation with this Egyptian fellow is and the way you are doing it speaks volumes. With this attitude of yours and the fact that we've all heard all of this contextually before---- you don't require much help from me. I'm just trying to help, but as I've said, responses to man-defense posts will probably need to be more fraternal. I DO NOT SUPPORT YOUR LIMITED PERSPECTIVE – Would that be the perspective that sending money abroad to someone you are romantically involved with is a bad idea? Or that on-line, international relationships in a lot of cases don't end well? That's not limited. Frankly, Sue, you're the one with the limited perspective. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO EACH AND EVERY POSTING ON HERE. The thing is, Sue, we've heard it all before. "No really, my relationship is the real one." If by "it" you mean doubts about your situation or that it is probably a scam, well, it most DEFINITELY applies here. THE GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN... …I thought you said originally you were on here just ask about divorce? See how easily this has gotten out of hand for you? Is that why you are writing in all caps? Because you're going to roll up your sleeves and show me….what? That your situation is somehow real? Then surely if the "GAUNTLET HAS BEEN THROWN"…..why, you wouldn't mind answering the questions I asked in the last post that were not answered? 1) Where is your man when you are posting on here? Please don't tell me you are "waiting" for him to come to active chat status that otherwise says he's "busy" a lot 2) How much more money are you going to send him? I hope you realize, Sue, that you will not see a dime of what you send over there ever again. THANKS FOR THE REPETITION OF MY COMMENTS BECAUSE THIS TACTIC IS REINFORCING FOR A NEW VOICE TO THE AUDIENCE. YOU WANT TO CHALLENGE ME – I want to you to WAKE UP! I want you to STOP sending some man over in another country $$$$! (and to stop telling others this may be okay!) I want you to QUIT defending this sham of a situation you are in FOR YOURSELF!
