There's this concept called, "justice." It is managed revenge. How
would you describe the emotions you feel when you respond in a mildly
hostile way to one of my posts? Do you hope, at least a little bit,
that you are hurting my feelings? I do "kinda dig revenge." Most
folks do, I'd say the overwhelming majority do. I'm honest enough to
admit it. I believe in repentance too.

maybe most people are barbarians. that doesn't make it admirable. and the
'at least i'm honest enough to admit it' is mostly a rationalization that
allows you to pat yourself on the back even further.

with me.

I would hope that's the reason for your ongoing posting. If you found
it work or painful, then you'd stop. But it also explains your driving
desire to read everything I post and then respond. You truly enjoy
trying to derive pain from others.

> at least most of the time that people laugh at my posts they're laughing

Keeping those lies right in front of you. I see by you're telling them
so often you've finally started to believe them. You remind me of the
child that loudly cackles at everything he says because he's convinced
he's so smart and amusing. At least he has his audience of one.

Yep, thanks for proving my point; you're truly pathetic and simply to
be pitied.

You have the annoying habit of being smarter and more eloquent than the
average bear. It's lonely at the top. See? You've lost Ranger's love. *sob*

oh, horseshit.

most of your Heartwarming Tales of Family Life might be a little too
saccharine for me, but i don't respond to them. if that floats your boat,
fine.

but the story of the waiter incurring your mighty wrath was over the top,
and i responded to it. along with many others, don't forget.

you are truly full of shit except for those portions not full of yourself.

i have parents of my own, who did a good job raising me, i think. i don't
need your thoughts on child-raising.

yep. i'm a pitiable creature, dismissing everyone who criticizes me as a
pathetic figure.

You "respect" no one, starting with yourself -- which as I said earlier,
explains your postings -- so continue reading everything I post. You'll
continue to respond regardless. I know you can't help yourself.

Is that the only reason you've not gone to get your rabies series? Shit,

yep lack of self-esteem, that's me all over.

but here's a friendly clue: i read almost everything here, not just your
posts. if your posts were the only attraction, i'd be over at
alt.****ing.goofballs instead.
