You know… I see it’s a tie…. you really want me to tip the scales?
hmmmmm…..I’d probably vote for you, but you have an unfair advantage in that Ross is an easy target for insults…
but I did like Ross’ poems! it’s a tough one…….
just be interested in your thoughts.
This has been quite interesting. It is hard to believe the vote is a tie. However, I did learn one thing from the comment Ross made about D.N. Aidit and the PKI. I learned that Ross is an ignorant jerk. Trims.
It’s a tie.
So ‘voting for underdog’ works.
Won’t try it on Mega-Pro, though.
You’re welcome Achmad. Consider my vote to Ross as an additional insult for him. That’s all I can do with a single vote, cos I don’t have the capability to craft 300 words into a deadly insult. I’m learning it.
Astra,
I don’t understand at all. How is a vote for Ross an insult for him — unless, as Groucho Marx once said, I wouldn’t want to join a club that would have me as a member ?
Diego said,
Where is AAB? It’s Lair’s fault (again), with his background-check thingy. That scared AAB off.
I believe he is still around, only he has morphed into somebody else.
Salam.
Achmad,
I don’t understand at all. How is a vote for Ross an insult for him
Consider it as an insult for you too then.
I learned that Ross is an ignorant jerk.
Some people just don’t grasp the concept of an insult thread..I wonder if thats a cultural thing..
Let’s see ignorant jerk.. How about Ross is to Knowledge as Religion is to science
Ignorant jerk…oya, he’s still on the insult thread, so no need for rational rebuttal.
Actually, in retrospect again, I feel that, in a forum such as IM, for me to have got 50% of the vote was a really encouraging sign, an omen that the moderates in Indonesia are resisting the rise of Achmadite anarcho-marxism.

Exactly how many Indonesian moderates are on IM?
an omen that the moderates in Indonesia are resisting the rise of Achmadite anarcho-marxism.
Don’t think too much of it. How many of the voters here (or participants for that matter) are in fact Indonesian?
yeah, like u, Lairedion.
What do you mean, Achmad?
@ Lairedion
re. AAB’s pics.
Something is missing in the second picture.
Lordy, Lairedy,
Didn’t u say u were a Dutch citizen ?
Yet you get protective about all these alleged “Bules” commenting on Indonesia, even though you took the nationality of the colonizing power….
Something is missing in the second picture.
Yes the great Tai Gajah….
and Achmad, when you say “took the nationality of the colonizing power…” do you mean that Lairedion somehow had a choice in the matter? isnt’ he half or some part dutch? wouldn’t that be something he was born with rather than ‘took’?
Janma,
Achmad knows my story. You can read it here:
http://www.indonesiamatters.com/4699/2009-indonesia-election/cp-2/#comments
I never made a secret of it. I could have easily pretend I am a full-blooded pribumi but for what?
My initial response was to Ross who was stating Indonesian moderates were resisting the rise of Achmadite anarcho-marxism.
hi janma,
just stirring (sorry lairdion). at the same time, though, I think it’s fair to say Lairdie gets a bit protective and miffed sometimes when he thinks bules are pretending to be indonesian and especially javanese. Is that fair, Lairedion ?
but it’s ok… we’re all…
Seksi
Here. !
There’s nothing seksi in you achmad (I was referring to your pic).
Diego,
Sorry, amigo, that’s a really lame insult. Can’t you do better ?
Picture???…great gazooks.. I thought it was an artists redention of the folly of interbreeding invertibrates or Condoms who can argue against them?
Diego,
Decent quality insult below:

Of course, I’ve cleverly taken the sting out by appreciating it. But it’s not hard for me to always be a few steps ahead of Oigal — he’s busy constructing his world view from the Jakarta Post.
@ Cukurungan
However, please check again on each of my post, in any topic, it had became the closing mark of the posting because no one could rebuff the truth on it,
It became the closing mark because every one was driven to despair and simply gave up.
Some things moved here, if you really want to have it in its own thread then supply a title please, no inspiration here….
Patoengs,
How bout “Rapacious Indonesian Elite: Part of a Global Gated Community ?”
Is this the IM equivalent of the pub car park?
Mike,
That’s right. It’s where we come to rip on each other.
