Elitist? I am beginning to wonder about your understanding of English. I
have no idea as to how you got to elitist. Then again, your one-sentence
reply below contains 5 language errors.

Then again, perhaps it is also elitist to point that out. Do forgive me,
English is only my third language.

And yes, you do remember me - like other serious people on this list (and
other lists), I contributed to exposing you and the fake organisations of
which you are always the dream cloud president/ chairman/ or some or other
pretentious title you accord yourself in representing the millions of
members/ followers that populate your twisted imagination.

As for being hateful, boy, how is that for the pot calling the kettle black!
Everybody has resorted to the elitist-sensible practice of filtering you! A
damn shame too, for they are losing so much!
