First of all, there is undoubtedly a Truth one and eternal which we are seeking, from which all other truth derives, by the light of which all other truth finds its right place, explanation and relation to the scheme of knowledge. But precisely for that reason it cannot be shut up in a single trenchant formula, it is not likely to be found in its entirety or in all its bearings in any single philosophy or scripture or uttered altogether and for ever by any one teacher, thinker, prophet or Avatar. Nor has it been wholly found by us if our view of it necessitates the intolerant exclusion of the truth underlying other systems; for when we reject passionately, we mean simply that we cannot appreciate and EXPLAIN.
Secondly, this Truth, through it is one and eternal, expresses itself in Time and through the mind of man; therefore every Scripture must necessarily contain two elements, one temporary, perishable, belonging to the ideas of the period and country in which it was produced, the other eternal and imperishable and applicable in all ages and countries. Moreover, in the statement of the Truth the actual form given to it, the system and arrangement, the metaphysical and intellectual mold, the precise expression used must be largely subject to the mutations of Time and cease to have the as e force; for the human intellect modifies itself always, continually dividing and putting together it is obliged to shift its divisions continually and to rearrange its syntheses; it is always leaving old expression and symbol of new or, if it uses the old, it so changes its connotation or at least in its exact content and associations that we can never be quite sure of understanding an ancient book of this kind precisely in the sense and spirit it bore to its contemporaries. What is of entirely permanent value is that which besides being universal has been experienced, lived and seen with a higher than the intellectual vision.

A careful review of these posts strongly indicates that a reasonable and plausible explanation was made as to the facts behind the "LUTFALLAH/LUFTWAFFE" misspelling incident.
There is no information that tends to contradict Mr. Weiss' or Mr. Nathan's statements regarding the incident.
Neither do their statements contradict each other. Bellow's contention that only one is or could be telling the truth is nonsense and irrelevant.
Further, there is no reason or evidence to assume that Mr. Weiss or Mr. Nathan is lying. There is also no reason to believe that they would not tell the truth.
An honest person, free of personal interest and subjective delusions would tend to trust that the information provided by Weiss and Nathan is quite probably true.
Perhaps Mr. Bellows should get together with a Reading & Comprehension teacher.
The Insider
mr. weiss contends that it was his inadvertant use of spellchecker on mr. lutfallah's name which resulted in an unfortunate error. mr nathan on the contrary contends he referred to mr lutfallah as mr luftwaffe deliberately on purpose likening him to all those 'brownshirts' and 'fascisti' of bygone days he likes to go on about and that as his use of the term in a private email somehow excuses it. i can't make head nor tail of either of these persons posts, except to end up thinking of them as incredibly immature for grown men, and to think of them and any meeting they may attend as a council of idiots. (at least in my head) hahahahaahahaha. you have no idea how that characterization amuses me! hahahahahahahahahaha...
That’s all nonsense and foolishness. What a pile of malarkey!
The CENTRAL ISSUE, in case you forgot, is GEORGE’S BHAVIOR, not how it came to be described by association with the German Air Force, "Nazi storm troopers" a.k.a. "brown shirts" -- particularly their tactic of kicking the yahoo out of anyone or anything they considered their enemy – DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIOR tactics.
The MAIN POINT herein is you are COVERING for George's behavior by switching the focus of the discussion away from George's fascisti-like behavior and attacking his critics' veracity, intelligence, maturity, choice of words, use of language and a barrage of irrelevant minutia.
How is spell checking and subsequent use of the allegedly offensive phrases contrary?
Aren’t you getting tired of this made up, delusional “enemy within and meddlers outside” hogwash?
I am surprised you haven’t pulled the “secret agenda” conspiracy out of your rear end yet.
Those three NON ISSUES is all you have in your paltry anti-progress, anti improvement, anti-taxi workers; rights movement war chest: (1) enemies within, (2) outsider meddling and (3) secret agenda.
And speaking offensive, what is more offensive to you, busting up a meeting or associating such behavior as tactics of Nazi stormtroopers?
What would the Informant have done?
I don't "contend" anything.
I state without reservation that the spell checker accident happened.
Hook me up to a lie-detector. Put me on sodium penathol. Hypnotize me. Water board me.
But put a few grand on your assertion (with special emphasis on the first syllable.

From "In the Defense of the Spineless, Lilly-livered and Lame-brained: A Scatological Study:"
"It is always the empty headed zealots, the overly pompous, the supremely arrogant with feigned air of authority and wisdom, who strike out at their critics, accusing them of the very crimes and misdemeanors they themselves or their bosses so openly and wantonly commit."

Unlawful tool-calling?
Seriously. Being noted as a dupe for the those who support and defend the status quo power elite, is not slander.
Being described or identified as a "tool" of the powers that be, a supporter of the way things are is not slander.
You've already done a remarkably good job of identifying yourself as such Joey.

There are only 6 listings in the National White Pages for Joe/Joseph Bellow, none are in Illinois.
Maybe his is just a figment or a disfigurement of our imagination.
Maybe he's just a fig. Go figure.
