‘Tis mental masturbation but what is significant is the attention to form and not substance, such a Malaysian malaise and affliction.

Oh…gotta go shake a tail feather now!

if we are the same people how could it be incestuous?

the word is ‘wanking’.

Which is a shame, because the message that you are trying to put across, imho, is important.

Thank you, my gier dear. Then let the messsage speak for itself. The messenger is nothing but a vessel, a machine if you will, which bears the message.

Once again, thank you for your kind words. We will keep it close to us.

To equate that with who we are would influence the message, coloured by people’s positive and negative perceptions of us. Dek Mat, Tatak Sombong, Mat Merah, YB Maya Minah Black and Mydeen Aboo Backer will only be judged by our thoughts, opinions and writings.

Fair enough, but perceptions are important in defining the message, to a certain extent. And further, hiding behind the mask of anonymity (Scarlet Pimples or otherwise) can also manage to colour one\’s perception. In this case, my perception is that you are abrogating your responsibility for your own words. Which is a shame, because the message that you are trying to put across, imho, is important.

It\’s more than just the message. The messenger him/herself bears a message, which at the very least says that he or she is willing to stand up and be counted.

Mat Merah further wrote:

But Dek Mat is right, we prefer the anonymity. What we write is what and who we are, does it matter what our parents actually named us. We just think the Internet could do with some common sense, which is itself uncommon. Yes, we are uncommon too.

FWIW, I agree with what you say, that there sometimes seem to be a surfeit of common sense on the Internet (and specifically the Malaysian \”socio-political pundekpunditry\” space), which is why when I read your posts and find them to be different, I keep wishing that you guys weren\’t hiding behind pseudonyms.

But then again, I\’m willing to allow that this might be the most sensible approach for you guys. Horses for courses and all that.

Bloggers Disunite!
