You're right, but in the case of the argument going on here, Farid just wants to shut me up for some reason. I've never tried to be "top dog." When I state my opinions, they are meant to be taken as merely my opinions, not absolute truth. I only started posting on this forum to put up alternative news articles & to understand what this Assyrian community was like in the States. I get the picture now.

& for Jeff: my earlier post to you was deleted. I responded to you to tell you that I'm not putting you in a box. If I label you anything, it is as a friend. If I ask you whether or not you are my friend, it does not mean that I want you to drop other friends of yours, AT ALL. I'm just a bit confused by some of the things you've said to me in the past, & I'm asking you to reaffirm your friendship with me. Nothing more.

I do get concerned at Farid's lies about me because I don't know that many people in the community very well. However, Farid is a member of that community, & I worry that his negative words & attitude about me carry greater weight in other peoples' perceptions of me than my own words about my family & history.

He can't take criticism, & so he's resorted to screaming at me. I don't care anymore. But, I do care if it makes me lose some friends in the community, like you or Tiglath or anyone else who I might become friends with. There are other people here who are not influenced by him, & have made it known to me.

Look, I don't really care about my image, unless it makes people ignore the articles I post or dismiss my opinions.
