Really now? So am I to surmise that you consider my discussing how I do not believe it appropriate to mutilate the image of a Netjer-t "trolling"? ROFLMAO.

(from an earlier post in the thread by you)

> ... "an image where one's diety
> ... has been symbolically dismembered
> ... is pretty disturbing."

And there's the rub: *I* found that site EXTREMELY disturbing. I have been taught to respect the Images of the Names of Netjer as well as their respective statuary. So of course to watch an image of my Parent be mutilated in such a fashion leaves me feeling a bit awkward.

What I find most interesting is that you are implying that someone "lied" here. Wherein was the lie? I explained that I saw this picture of Sekhmet which was "geometrically altered" and I thought it was disgusting.

Suffice to say that it would appear as though the one who is trolling is someone who has nothing better to do than degrade other people to make himself look superior. However, I believe that Ptah-hotep told us much about peole like this.

And with that, I bid you adieu.
En Ma'at,
John
