He doesn’t seem to have achieved much of anything else.

The lying troll is an even more extreme case.

That they make common cause with each other is quite telling.

The hypocritically applied “supply and demand” point applies to why the troll’s idiotic comments about Russia aren’t welcomed in much of Russian media.

‘Twas before my time, I fear.

Once you realize that what Mike is doing is engaging in propping up his own delusions, not trying to actually communicate, his behavior becomes much more understandable.

It all makes sense now. Remember ‘Claus’ and ‘Sergei’ appearing at SL, saying how great Pochta Rossii offices were, from the same IP address? Hilarious. And telling Lyndon and db to shove his IP address up their asses? Ah, it was a golden era:-)

Yeps.

“Ever hear of supply&demand?”

Well there is a circular relationship between supply and demand…

Mike obsession is not Russia. It is Mike. He’s a classic narcissicist. Remember all those transparent sockpuppets? How he never tried to modeify his bizarre writing style to make them nonobvious to others? That’s because he was not writing them for others — he was writing them FOR HIMSELF. The way others would perceive them never popped into his mind.

Is that the new Grand Theft Auto game, the one featuring Russian criminals in New York? Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling better and sleeping badly. There’s nothing worse.

”Russia friendly views are needed in America.”

So says you, provider of said views (the supplier?). Funny that it seems those views arent actually wanted by the vast majority of Americans. Ever hear of supply&demand?

I love this sentence! Here, I’ll redo it so it makes more sense:

“Your abilities appear to be limited, which is why you harp on those few strengths you believe you possess.”

Even this sentence doesn’t make much sense. Are my abilities limited, or do I perceive myself as having few abilities? Or both? What exactly is the causal relationship here? Clarity is the soul of punditry Mike!

”But he doesn’t love Russia. It’s a means for him to exhalt his own ego.”

I suspect you’re right. He has no interest whatsoever in the nuts and bolts of the thing -and that really is learning the language. I mean, can you imagine a building labourer who cant mix up mortar? It makes no sense.

”I’m also not a phony who tries to monopolize the role of a responsible Russia friendly source.”

And there lies the heart of the matter. He doesnt care really about Russia -he just wants a career change and sees Russocentric punditry as the way forward:-)

But he doesn’t love Russia. It’s a means for him to exhalt his own ego.”

****

No at all.

You display a limited ability, which explains why you harp on whatever your few perceived strengths are. Ego? Like how you babble on about your life experience.

Russia friendly views are needed in America.

I slept three hours last night — fell asleep at 2:30 and woke up at 5:30. So, no. Fortunately I am leaving the office early, like, now.

By the way, apropos of nothing, I’m playing a really cool computer game called Culpa Innata that, by coincidence, has a great Russia tie-in. And Glukoza’s song Schweine made it to the music track of Grand Theft Auto 4. Go popsa!
