Okay so my leaving spurred a bunch of conversations I can't leave hanging. They are diverse: one is political, one is about linguistics, and one is about clarifying some misunderstandings about my meaning and intentions in various things I've said on previous blogs. So for now this is my tentative update on the long goodbye (those who don't care, you don't have to tell me. This blog is not intended for you. Obviously).

by Azarin Sadegh on Sun Aug 03, 2008 05:08 AM PDTIn my first comment here, I forgot to mention something that is very important to me:
Last year, when I was trying to help SCE and Ali Mahin Torabi, you were one of the rare Iranian.com readers who put an impressive amount of work and energy to help his case. You and Nadia were almost the only ones who helped.
As we all know Ali is out of death row now and as my friend (Ali's aunt) says he is extremely grateful to all the people who didn't give up on him. People like you Robin Jan!
I think it's how that we can really get to know others and decide who they really are. And so... you my dear, are one of a kind..truly!
Thanks again for all you did for Ali,
Azarin

by Rosie T. on Sat Aug 02, 2008 04:03 AM PDTwhy don't you into my acccount just click on the blue on my name and read some of my writings. My writings ilast year through January I think came from my deepest soul. If you really understand poetry Leila and Me is the best. When I cam back here a couple of months ago my poetic style had gotten much much simpler as my prose had to from the beginning to communicate with the target audience which as jj says so often is "people who would not normally get published elsewhere>' the very middle of the middle of the middle...I like this simpler clearer voice very much too. Lately as the situation has become more and more painful and loaded, I've focused on staire and polemics, it's safer. But there is one you might find very interesting. Believe it or not it's called I Believe in the Internet. But it would up being about the soul.
I hope you understand there really is a soul and it's one common sould and we all share it and in fact wer all are it..
Whatever happens my greatest wish is that people would read something at least one thing of mine that captures this soul.
Thanks
Robin

Never let you go
by AmirAshkan Pishroo on Sat Aug 02, 2008 01:10 AM PDTThe critical comments against you, Robin, are breathtakingly stupid, but true. Extreme yet ordinary, the forces of stupidity press forward a mirage of aggression, a front without frontier, as Avital Ronell nicely puts it.
Brechet once noted that inteligence is finite but stupidity, infinite.
Nonetheless, the necessity of departure exerts political pressures, because sometimes lying face down into snow and refusing to deal with an overwhelming problem, offers the best strategy for survival.
To be sure (”sure”: another reflex of stupidity), there is no sin except leaving the battle field.
In solidarity with you, I command you to stay.
I am, I must confess, new in the town.

What about all the back handed comments you throw at people. In any case, I don't care but I read you from time to time. I'm sure others are the same. I don't care much about Hanna Montana but I've watched it too. And as for the psychoanalysis...thanks a lot babe, you saved me lots of money. I'm so glad someone here has been able to tell me about me...without knowing me. You are my GOD. Stay, please stay.

Thank you for dealing with Majid
by AnonymousOH (not verified) on Fri Aug 01, 2008 11:59 AM PDTRosie,
Thank you for dealing with Majid the way he deserves to be dealt with. He has posted many obnoxious comments in this website, including on my blog, that’s why I’m posting this comment anonymously; I don’t want to be targeted for his harassment. As you said he is a sadist, but HE thinks he is so cute with the kind of things he says.
It looks like you might stay; if that’s the case GREAT, otherwise please consider staying. You are a great asset to this website.
Dear Rosie: You're so right
by magma (not verified) on Fri Aug 01, 2008 11:50 AM PDTDear Rosie: You're so right about Nazanine; She is a very angry, insecure, and vindictive soul. I feel sorry for her and the incredible pain ahead of her life; She has to learn the hard way. She is not very smart after all.
Hope to see you soon.

This Blog Is Being Misunderstood! // Azarin
by Rosie T. on Fri Aug 01, 2008 09:12 AM PDTFirst of all I'm saying I'm going to continue the discussions I'm involved in until they are pretty much doone! In the case of the poplitical one for all I know that oculd take ten minutes or ten years.
Second of all my tentative final comment on thie situation is Gloria Gaynor's NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE! I think my vacation will be shorter than I anticipated it would have to be and I will come back refreshed. No worries.
Thanks to evreybody for all the nice commetns and posts.
Azarin, I have been meaning to contact you by e-mail for several weeks, it is just that the situation here had become increasingly more frustrating for me and I just didn't have the mental space to focus on what I need to tell you. I will do it early next week.
Robin
Dear Robin,
by Azarin Sadegh on Fri Aug 01, 2008 08:58 AM PDTDear Robin,
It's so sad to see that you're leaving. I always found your writings (blogs/comments) to be the most original and thought provoking. I am sure that your absence is going to be felt. In a way, it is going to remind to many of us (here on Iranian.com) to be more considerate of others. That Iranian.com is not a real battlefield and none of us is the soldier of morality and justice and none of us has the right of killing those who disagree with us.
Looking forward to your return,
Azarin
Nezanin,
by Rosie T. on Fri Aug 01, 2008 06:21 AM PDTIf you don't care what are you doing here?
That is EXACTLY the kind of logical contradiction you fall into all the time , constantly chronically. Stop. Think about it. IF YOU DON'T CARE WHY ARE YOU HERE? (don't answer here, the question is rhetorical for me but bears scrutiny by you). These contradictions color every single thing you say and do on this website. You're not stupid so they obviously stem from serious problems of another kind. But you are so CRUEL and VINDICTIVE that it is almost impossible to have compassion for you and if you continue in your ways you are going to generate that reaction more and more, virtually everywhere you go in life and it will get worse as you get older, because trust me the older women get the less we have to sell. Calling a "poem" "Slut" won't cut the mustard or get you admirers when you're 50.
I AM NOT YOUR PROBLEM, NEZANIN, YOU ARE YOUR PROBLEM.
Nezanin I don't want to hurt you, whether you admis it or not you are already in more than enough pain. But I want this "discussion" between us completely closed. By you and all your multiple identities and me. You have dogged me around this website, provoked me, harrassed me, in absolutely vicious ways that are perhaps forgiveable but never forgettable including UNDER FALSE IDENTITIES WHEN I DIDN"T EVEN KNOW IT WAS YOU, wasting my time and energy and creating the false impression that I have more enemies than I actually do. How unethical.
Do you realize that when you wrote a blog saying you were leaving I spent quite a bit of time convincing you to stay and look at what you have been doing to me. Do you realize just HOW sick you must be to not even NOTICE how sick that is?
I doubt you are willing to apologize but it wouldn't even matter if you did. You aren't ready yet to do the soul-searching necessary to fathom the depths of the apology that would be required. It would be superficial and pointless.
So please just leave me alone and take your multiple identities with you and avoid me for the forseeable future as I intend to avoiid you until hopefully you undergo a major sea change in the future. For your own good. Far more than mine. It is patently obvious to anyone who is rational that I loom much larger in your mind than you do mine, despite ALL your harrassment.
There. You said your piece. I said mine. It is over. Done. Finito. If you can't control yourself, spew whatever venom you want to. I will ignore you, provided of course I know it/s you... Otherwise I will do what I have increasingly come to do with such posts. I will reply: You are a sadist, and go on my merry way.
Now you too, Nezanin> Go. Go on your sad, confused, sadistic way.
Robin
Majid
by Rosie T. on Fri Aug 01, 2008 03:26 AM PDTThe first thing you ever said to me when I came back here after two months was how sorry you were when I was here and to shut up.
Please get off of my blog and never address yourself directly or indirectly to anything I say on this site again unless/until you apologize, which I don't particularly care if you do, but if you do fine.
And if you were to consider starting to harrass me under falso names registered or unregistered like some of your friends perhaps do just bear one thing in mind:
at the moment of death our whole life passes before our eye.
Now you can answer me or not but if you do it is a matter of public record what a pr-k you are and the only people who could possibly support you here are sadists.
Go away. Leave me the hell alone. The wedsite is big enough for you to avoid me if you have such contempt for me. SO START AVOIDING ME NOW. Or every single time you come near me I am going to remind you of the first thing you said when I came back here and even people who DON'T like me will probably realize that you are a sadist.

by n.zanincanadai on Thu Jul 31, 2008 07:29 PM PDTHey Rosie, So finally the day is here huh? Wow, I don't know what to say. Halleluja or Elahi Shokr!? I think the main reason why you are so "hurt" and you suffer from so much "pain" from you "friends" could be because you are just too damn sexy for this site.
Enjoy your vacation and take your time before coming back. I truely am sorry if I bugged you too much. Take this little video as my apology for teasing a bit too much.
