Do you resent forum "private messages" or e-mails, are you above petty party politics, is your name Issodhos?

Ed. Note: The original article appeared at the Right Minds forum Feb 5, 2005. Since then Issodhos has moved to the Faded Glory forum where he is more at home with the anti-Bush and “peace at any price crowd”. Although Issodhos has gone off the track with the rest of the unhinged Left one has the impression that he’s a pretty decent guy with perhaps one or two unresolved problems.

Right Minds Forum Survey: Regular Posters Find the Foibles of Issodhos Funny 

By Derek Crane

Feb. 5, 2005 (TAP) -- Despite long time Right Minds cut and paste poster Issodhos' belief that fellow posters who make fun of him do so because of their "Conservative versus liberal" world view, a recent forum survey conducted for the Assorted Press (TAP) shows that a broader spectrum of posters enjoy laughing at the foibles of Issodhos.

Foible: Issodhos claims he is above party politics and often refers to the Republican and Democratic parties as two wings of an unspecified evil machine or state. Although he rigorously maintains he is neither Left or Right, observers note that Isadore manages to find fault only with those ideas to the right of center.

Foible: Apparently the mysterious Issodhos abhors personal e-mail and backs away from any attempts to reach him via forum private messaging like a Vampire backing away from a cross. He says it infringes on his privacy or personal space.

Foible: Enigmatic Issodhos was asked to explain what he thinks motivates the "ceaseless lampooning" he faces. An apparently offended Issodhos said, "You're probably too stupid or busy whining to understand but in simple words, it's that postmodernism thing with you people... the combination of narcissism and nihilism that really defines postmodernism. In other words, you peasants don't understand me or my beliefs."

But the TAP survey suggests that Issodhos’ foibles elicits laughter not only from postmoderns, but also moderns, anti-postmoderns, pre-moderns, pre-millenialists, post-toasties, Luddites, Neanderthals, paleo-Conservatives and even neo-Conservatives.

The polling company that conducted our TAP survey was surprised at how the mere mention of Issodhos’ name brought people of diverse backgrounds and political ideologies together, "Everybody loves laughing at Isso" remarked an unnamed polling spokesman.
