You had days and days in which to make your presentation, and you did not. Had you posted nothing, people might have waited for you, but given how actively you keep posting even when you have absolutely nothing to say, I think you were just filibustering.

Unfortunately, people just assumed that anyone defending a client necessarily shares the views of that client and started heckling.
Considering that Germany never hired you, doesn't NEED to hire you, and probably wouldn't hire you in particular even if it needed such a defender, then yes, that is the conclusion I draw, and I don't think it is so unreasonable.

I never got to finish my presentation for the defense. The moderator closed the thread saying I was off topic.
You barely started your presentation for the defense despite posting in that thread constantly. Hence what you posted in that thread was indeed mostly off-topic. How about, instead of derailing your own damn threads all the time, wait until you have something to say before you hit the submit button or the 'new thread' button? Otherwise you are just wasting board space, your own time, and everyone else's time.

SinceI believe in self determination, that would naturally take it's course through euthanasia........................hemlock for me please in a wine glass.
