Hi Pessimist,

Thanks for the tip. Back in June I read the section where the blogger talks about him or herself. Based on what I read in that section I concluded pedestrian was a he. I thank you for correcting me.

Beli,

You need to cool off before you lose it. Thought I think you may have already lost it to the extent you cannot distinguish between friends and enemies. So take a dose of your own advice lose the attitude and read through the following:
1. I am an Iranian you dope.
2. Read my comments throughout this blog (though you said you had difficulty navigating this blog) and then you will see I have voiced my objection to commentators and Professor Scott Lucas, the creator of this blog, when I felt they needed to see through some of the smoke.
3. I was agreeing with Maliheh and that is why I was asking her to go to the source, http://www.sidewalklrics.com. I was hoping she goes to that blog and express her dismay with Pedestrain, the owner of SidewalkLyrics blog, who claims to be an Iranian. I do not read that blog because I do not like some of his takes on democracy movement in Iran.
4. You have more than once objected to this EA blog and Professor Lucas invited you to make suggestions. I have not seen you doing that yet. There comes the time that instead of nagging and complaining we must take steps to correct the problem. The way I see it we have two choices (a) do not read what we do not like or (b) try to make suggestions how to change things up to our liking. You have not done either.
5. If you decided to read this blog, I suggest you keep some of your fire and direct it to the real enemy of Pro Democracy Movement in Iran. He comments under the name of Samuel in this blog. Some of us have given up on him and just ignore him and bypass his comments. I call him Sa Mule. He is the mouthpiece for Iranian mafia regime.

Now after you have a chance to read through some of my old comments on EA blog, an apology should be in order for jumping the gun. But I do not expect one from you. You sound too confused and hope you work through that.

Again, please take it easy and take a deep breath. We have a long battle ahead of us with the real ruthless enemy, the mullah regime.

Thanks for clearing that up Pedestrian, I did wonder if that was just the IRI putting words into Rafs mouth for their own purposes.

Rafsanjani’s office has released a statement saying that Zakani is not authorized to quote him and his quotes have no credibility:

By the way Megan, if I were you, I’d lose the attitude to Maliheh. You’re not Iranian and Iranians are SICK of how you self-congratulatory westerners like to portray and whitewash FACTS where this regime is concerned. So why don’t you back off and start getting your FACTS straight.

I suggest before you jump to conclusions you read the ENTIRE speech given by Zakani. Clearly you do not have the skills to read the form of rhetoric used by the members of IRI. So, I suggest before you misrepresent the situation, you wait till the translation is complete. There was A LOT of double talk in that lecture and if I were you, I wouldn’t throw a party yet.
