Paul,

Then my protest game is deleted. I apologize to anyone and all, I am sure that I offended but I felt I needed to take desparte measures to show how wrong it is to label others pagan and idolatrous, but more importantly in like of this Dean chap's comments about us Assyrians chosing between Christianity and Assyrian, and to throw away your pride in being Assyrian, and your smashing that sculpture was doing that and putting a video of it on the internet would have caused more chaos and division in Assyrians, if you can imagine there being more... and the thought of it was very disturbing cuase it wreaked of book burnings, and cross burning and the only thing you would have smashed would be yourself and I still think you are a good man but I would have lost respect if you had done that but more importantly put a video.

I was doing that for you and the artist and our ancestors and our people now... and my sense of conscience... but I guess I was the fool for taking anything on these forums serious. Lesson learned... but thank you regardless for not posting that video... it would have broke my heart.

So I put myself on the line and made and posted that game to speak my conscience and try to get you all to stop this insanity, so really the joke was not on Farid, but on me.... cause I was the only one so mortified by the thought of it that I spent time doing that game to get through to you... when now I see you were never going to do it. Oh well.. so it was not wasted time... I will change the game as an Assyrian pride game and put something nondescript as the target, and it had a graphics glitch I have to fix.. so a new game for Assyrians is the only good that came of this.

Justone more thought and then I think I am done. Farid said something that not only is true but is a big problem in our community that has smacked me in the face too. Some of these socaled Assyrian forums have people attack in vulgar viscious evil ways anyone with a slightly different mentality... and mine has only been trying to help Assyrians and I have gotten it and they attack nonstop in gangs trying to humiliate and degrade in a way that is pure evil... and they push good people to need to stand up and defend themselves, then these godforsaken forums ban the person who defends themself cause they are not part of the "in" circle for that forum. The fact that is the modis operandi of our people is what is destroying Assyrians and not Farid... that is what is creating division and hatred and complacency, and yes, even making people like Farid who is really a good soul and sweet man, angry.. you saw it here, you came initially sweetly and now you are bitter and angry.. and you did not get a fraction of what he probably got initially. I don't know the whole story, but I initially just saw things like his and your argument and thought badly, but if people stop attacking and start listening then maybe we can all hear each others truths and find a way to make peace and let ALL Assyrians be proud of whatever religion they do or don't profess, and of their heritage of being Assyrian.

Okay speech done.. I know I am full of myself sometimes... I think I will take that internet break I keep threatening to take. I am glad that I contributed to this forum and listened for we need to understand everyone better and see and find and embrace what goodness we find, and not smash anything of anyone else. I think I will say goodbye, cause I need a break... I feel jerked around now and tired. Thank you Farid for being the only forum that was that welcoming, and I hope that all these divisions and wounds in our people can be healed and they realize that they needed to embrace us all and we realize that too. And thank you for the beautiful art you contribute to the world for in art is peace.

Shushhhhh
