Tallini

Just so people are aware, I took the step of contacting Cesidio Tallini privately via email last night, in order to respectfully ask him to reconsider his recent decision to leave this forum. I did so because even though I and many others disagree with him on just about every topic under the sun, I feel that his contributions here provided unique, original and often entertaining insights on his particular subjects of interest. In response, Mr Tallini shot back a vituperative 18 paragraph-long dissertation in which he accused me of championing religious intolerance, of running a campaign to exclude him from Wikipedia and force him to become a stateless refugee (!), of being a contemptible hypocrite, of being nasty, ungrateful and unsupportive (because nobody from LOM bothered to buy his latest book) (!), and smugly prophesying my destruction. Lord only knows what he would have written if my email had been written in something other than a polite and respectful tone! I think we can safely conclude from this that Mr Tallini will not again be gracing this forum with his august presence at any time in the forseeable future.

Well....HUMmmmm....what can a person think, say, or do... Well George...you gave it your "best shot" as *they* say, and I am not surprised at Governor Tallini's response; and then again, I am left to question why....as he seems to like the constant tit-for-tat between certain individual types ( me included @ times ), and with an "Open Invitation" to once again have a public platform here at the LOM forum, on which he could present his views and ideas...and then to say "no" ( and in such a manner )...leaves me speechless..... which we all already know that that is something hard to do. ;D I for one like Governor Tallini, and know that his contributions to micronationalism is grossly under-estamated and under-appreciated by the majority of micronations and micronationalist. ( i.e. he is the "opposite" to most...which gives most their position ) ( i.e. he has been someone who increased our own self-assets ) Having said that....I am saddened as to his "no"....and more so at the manner of his reply. As you say.....maybe another day...maybe another way.... _________________________________________________

I generally find Tallini likeable - albeit not always easy to stomach (particularly when he's on one of his periodic megalomaniacal benders).
However, today's outburst is right off the richter scale in terms of outright offensiveness and downright stupidity.
Any normal person would have simply politely declined my invitation and moved on.
I will, in future, be extremely loathe to tolerate his eccentric, antisocial tendencies - should I ever again be confronted with them.

When participating on behalf of the Realm of Lykosha, sometimes Tallini could get rather verbose and argumentative. Despite that, the Governor did have the ability to attract attention to the micronational world by virtue of his projects. He was good at pointing out fakes, and scams, and for that, I have had occaision to be grateful and interested.
A shame this contribution won't be continued here at the LOM.
