I reject your maxims.

You have no authority for me.

I always speak the truth as I see it and strive to relay it as best I can.

I tend to write a long passage, and that's just how it is. That doesn't make me evil.

You can't set up maxims that rely on your as their interpretor and arbitrer when you don't have acknowledged authority. It's a vanity exercise.

I reject your intrusion in the forums with your self-referential and self-celebratory Stoneself stuff, Stoneself LOL.

Not in My Name

Very courageous, standing up like this and all.

Not in My Name either!

I will fight your maxims with every ounce of my being, StoneSelf. I promise you this StoneSelf.

I Will Not Be Denied.

What Does Your Man Got To Do With Me?
