Okay, my leaving had nothing to do with her, but I didn't like her.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I didn't. There was a weird veneer of "too perfect" "put-on" character that made me think "project" rather than sincerity. Maybe because I've made abortive attempts at "reinventing" my own character after times I've been involved in things I regret that I spotted it - but something never quite rang true. I was only certain though when she started bringing "friends" here, to me it was incredibly obvious they were all the same player...

I came to enjoy responding to the latent sniping towards the end with saccharin, but yes, it was a definite case of pave way for the Lianmobile.

A very talented corraller of opinion, she was.

It's more than that, she was pleasant and had intersting things to say, she just didn't whine about nonsesne, and she played a cute girl. It would be fair to ask if she played the part of a boy would she have been so popular.

Maybe not to the same extent but certainly she would have driven the conversation in the same way.

Didn't she say she was a manager there? Yeah, I guess her fabrication got over-ambitious. Credit where credit is due, she had some intelligence, or at least a good imagination to pull it off. I don't think any harm was done, but maybe she/he felt that there'd be retribution.

If she/he did, I don't recall.

I still think she came back as Benshir. Who went the same way. I liked Benshir. In a way, I liked Lian too. And it was disappointing to find out they were both fictitious.
