- Why, that's funny, Frank, but YOU were the one who posted it! In fact, I never
- saw the Jive version until you entered this discussion! So are you some
- sort of instigator or what?
-
- And since he is Pakistani, what the hell does anti-black racism have to do
- with a damn thing? You obviously are a crank poster who gets off on creating
- issues and flamewars where none exist.
-
- Judging by the responses on this net, Frank, it looks as if you don't
- have many supporters, so just accept it gracefully, OK? You
- don't impress us by your lack of knowledge of OMAR. How long have you read
- this group anyway?
-
- You seem to be rather arrogant in your presumption that you could
- possibly know more about someone you've never met than his roomates.
-
- LONG LIVE ALT.FAN.OMAR!!!!!!
