I lost patience briefly - at no time did I experience anger - I no longer feel the need for such destructive emotion

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

The 'famous' people I happened to mention in my original post.

Nothing about being 'well aware of lots corruption, and preferring to remain silent'.

Blimey the mind of a conspiracy theorist is unfathobable, and invents it's own bizarre facts that aren't there, at least not apparent to those of a rational mind.

If that's evidence of research I'd label it very sloppy, if not verging on the slanderous.

Do you have a different definition of defamity from most people:confused:

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

Good.:)

I think your imput on this forum is much needed, considering the dross that has meant many other interesting members have disappeared.

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

Defame, to harm the reputation of someone by libel or slander, to disgrace.

I was merely pointing out that not all the people I mentioned in my original post are primarily considered infamous, but that I could justify all those mentioned as being such because of what I know.

I was just trying to illustrate that I wasn't 'showing off' about having known a lot of well known people, but those I mentioned were my brushes with infamy, which is what the thead was about.

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

apart from meeting Idi Amin in the Sudan (1980) during his exodus from Uganda into exile in Saudi Arabia don't think I have met anyone who could really be described as infamous (nasty) . Have buddy in Austria and he keeps a photo of this Dad on the mantlepiece in his Waffen SS uniform from the early 40s , only met the chap once (now passed on) , when asked about his missing fingers , he just replied with a shrug 'Stalingrad' , a really nice gentleman , made great Obstler (Schnapps) . Also once worked/alongside with a chap who had been part of the German occupation force in the Channel islands , he was a nice chap as well ....:confused: :confused:

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

I could defame all those you listed. Defamations are unfounded.

Re: brushes with Infamy
 

You obviously haven't witnessed how Mrs. Thatcher eats peas.;)

Nothing's unfounded if it is what you actually saw.:)
