Here's the complete context of the "discussion" about me among
StanB, Tim Hanke, and Briarroot in this thread:

On 25 May 2003, StanB wrote to me (his complete original post, quotes

"I ask you this Bwana Nick, have you ever eaten pygmy?
StanB"

On 9 June 2003, Tim Hanke wrote to me (his complete original post, link
snipped)
"Let the record show that Bwana Nick does not deny eating pygmy.
Tim Hanke"

On 10 June 2003, Briarroot wrote (his complete original post, link snipped):
"The only remaining question is: does Nick prefer boiled, baked or barbecued
pygmy? LMAO"

How can you deny this was a jibe against you? There is no implied
racism here, just a clearly stated lack of respect for you.

"Bwana" = African; "eating pygmy" = cannibalism and murder.
"Bwana...eating pygmy" = racist stereotype of Africans.

Tim Hanke, StanB, and Briarroot seem to enjoy "Bwana...eating pygmy" 'jokes'.

(snipped more invective from Briarroot)
The proper context of the above statement was in Mark Houlsby's and my
attempt to determine your home country (something you wish to keep hidden).

Actually, I doubt that Mark Houlsby was attempting "to determine (my) home
country". I doubt that he felt that he had any need to do that.

I was speculating that you were from Europe, but admitted that it didn't
matter, because where ever you are from, I am sure that your homeland's
history of racism, brutality and naked aggression is little different from
America's.

That's characteristic Briarroot "logic": Briarroot admits that he does not
know something (the identity of my "homeland"), but he draws a definite
conclusion ("I am sure") about it anyway.

As someone else here put it, Briarroot is "beneath human dispute".

Which is bad grammar. Perhaps he meant that 'Briarroot is beneath
human contempt' which would only be redundant; or perhaps he meant
that 'Briarroot is not worth disputing with' which would merely be
irrelevant, as you keep proving.
