Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

This is no leftwing or left of center blog.

Oh. My God! Here I was thinking ET was a progressive blog!

Please, tell us what we should do to deserve the coveted Sherleft & Fairgald True Left-Wing Blog label (apart from an automatic reclist for your diaries).

"Sherleft & Fairgald True Left-Wing Blog?" I like it, I like it. Could you by any chance draw my attention to the latest Darfur diary to appear on ET? After which I will give you a rating on the leftward spectrum. This will permit many people to understand themselves and what they really are.

Who appointed you to be Saint Shergald, Missionary to the Heathen?

Stop preaching.

Shergald has been appointed blogger in partibus infidelium by the Holy Church of the True Left...

Re: No. Did you? (none / 0)
Okay let's get a hold of ourselves, me too. Let me first apologize to the train affectionados, and confess, I like the pictures. But as a bus person, let me say that there is a definite anti-bus bias on this site. Have you noticed too? So let me challenge the train enthusiasts to come up with a bus diary, that shows the great advances in bus technology. I am speaking here of course about the seats. Last time I too a ride, it ended up with a good case of hemorroids. But improvements are being made, aren't they? You know, now I have even forgotten the topic of this diary, so we are back to Helen. Please no!

I translated your subquote:

"What comes into the world to disturb nothing deserves neither respect nor patience." René Char

So you got it all along. I'm here to disturb something and I deserve respect and patience. So let's have it.

Re: No. Did you? (4.00 / 5)
First, don't mistake bothering for disturbing.

And you're making a logical error: René Char says that what disturbs nothing deserves neither respect nor patience. That doesn't mean everything that disturbs deserves respect and patience...

By the way, I think I (we) have shown respect and a lot of patience towards you, even while you might not have deserved it...

Re: No. Did you? (none / 0)
Thanks for your patience. It would have been entirely unnecessary if you just didn't choose to partake in the useless meta dialog that has again attended on of my diaries.

In another context, say Daily Kos, such attention would be considered just another diary hijacking with the usual ad hominem. Even Migeru might have maintained his recommendation, and the other recommenders would not have had their ticks deleted by administration. Maybe it is just a case of getting bored and needing a little bit more excitement on ET.

Glad to give it, but again, I would just stay away. The messages I send are usually in the title, and its reading is enough.

That is technically impossible - but your assertion is above all a smear on the editorial team here.

Time for you to go, shergald.

And again you beclown yourself (what a great expression - that may well be among your five most useful contributions to this site).

Site management cannot wipe individual ratings and recommendations. The software does not work that way. When you wipe out ratings, you wipe out the whole rating history of the user in question (or maybe only those who are less than a month old - I don't know the precise details).

The messages I send are usually in the title, and its reading is enough.

Thank you for this explicit admission that you are in persistent violation of European Tribune etiquette.

You're advertising, not contributing.

Demand respect? Oh do Fuck off.
