Obviously, another absurd myth that you're intent on perpetuating is the one about some "list of boards" that I possess and that I systematically go around starting flame-wars on - a "secret list", moreover, that I desperately want to "hide and deny the existence of" and that I cunningly delete every reference to.

Just to explode your nonsense for at least the 45 minutes that is as long as people's memory on boards like this tends to last, here is the board and the discussion that you keep referring to:

http://karlomongaya.wordpress.com/2009/10/22/for-the-love-of-zizek-a-fan%E2%80%99s-confession/

It IS actually kind of "Cracky-relevant", actually, as I've seen several references to Slavoj Zizek, and to his mentor Lacan, made here and on other Cracky-boards. In addition to all the hokey Oriental-mystical and hokey Christological waffling about Cracky that goes on, the slightly better-educated among you seem also to have seized on the very hokiest of all hokey contemporary Continental philosophers as a means of creating clouds of impressive obfuscation around your pseudo-passion and pseudo-obsession.

But it's not as a warning for Crackyfags against the execrable charlatan Zizek that I post the link (though if it serves that purpose as well, it will have done no harm). Rather, I post it because it's a pretty convincing illustration of what a ridiculous thing interaction on the Internet generally is, and of how friendly, polite, well-intentioned comment can quickly end up being assimilated into a whole set of neurotic psycho-dramas that really have absolutely no connection with what was said.

On the blog I link to, for example, my simply quietly pointing out the inadequacy to scholarly standards of many of the publications of the hugely popular "cultural theorist" Zizek soon led to me being unwillingly co-opted as a representative of US global imperialism (I've never in my life set foot in the USA) on whom a bunch of (as it turned out) Filipinos could vent their fury over fifty or sixty years of their country's being used as America's aircraft carrier.

I would imagine it would now be as practically impossible for me to post on this blog-site again as it is for me to post here on .71. ANY post identifiable as authored by me would immediately result in a DefCon 1 alert with everybody running around screaming about "invading imperialist Americans".

All that just by way of giving you some perspective.
