    Call me strange, but I am pretty sure these[^] guys are not in the mood for a converstation...

    Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                  sure they are, they just need to meet with Magic and have him blame the Bush administration 27 times (without looking back mind you) in a stern manner for them to realize that they really need to redirect their efforts to some humanitarian goal like, I don't know, maybe raising pigs to cure world hunger.

                  Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

                      Troy, I know where you live, what your phone number is, and what your email is - unless you changed them at the same time you took down that pathetic excuse for a personal website after I published its URL. However, there is nothing between us except mutual disdain. I just have access to records not available to you. You can add that to your list of why you resent me - along with I'm smarter, richer, more talented, better educated, better liked, and better looking than you. Oh, I forgot to mention - I am not a coward as you are, either. You never did explain why you could be such a dickhead as to teach your little brother to hide in the sewers rather than confront your enemies. Do tell us - inquiring minds want to know. . .

                            I'm concerned for you, dud ... I mean, Dewd. Can't you see the self-destructive nature of this unhealthy obsession you have for me? Sure, you know my address (which isn't at all the same thing as knowing where I live) -- you write me almost daily, and I always throw it in the trash, unopened. Sure, you know my email address -- you email me dozens of times each day, and I have them auto-routed to the junkmail folder. Sure, you know my phone number -- you call me constantly, day and night, and I *never* speak to you, but always hang up. But the obsession really has to stop. Now, sure, you probably don't yet actually know where I live, but I have no doubt that you're obsessively trying to find out. And, I further expect that should you ever find out you'll be on the next Greyhound ... well, as soon as you can turn enough tricks (*) to pay for the fare ... and when you show up on my doorstep, I'll have to shoot you and bury you out in the woods 'round to the back. It will be so sad; yet, who but one or two of your regulars will ever know that you've gone missing? (*) Two-bits a go doesn't go as far as it used to, it seems. But, seemingly, having a fistfull of quarters *is* a good gauge of one's popularity.

                                    Oh! LOL Two things: 1) Restraining orders are worthless -- a restraining order is just a legal admission that someone will be dead soon. 2) I'm just playing with the stupid (*) -- and creepy -- things ol' DryRot has said and insinuated. He wants everyone (and me!) to know that he's been sleuthing me out. Fine ... that does, after all, simply publicly confirm that he has a really odd fixation on me. Now, I do get some odd phone calls from time to time, but I don't actually know that they're from him. edit: (*) You might recall that from time to time I will point out that certain persons who like to pound their chests about how much more intelligent than I they are so frequently fail to think ahead to the probable use to which I will put their "insults" or (as in this instance) "threats."

                                          OK, whatever. Just don't expect it to hurt or humiliate him in any way. Insults are only insulting if the insultee either knows or suspects it to be true, and is ashamed of it. Calling someone a fungal disease of plants is hardly likely to elicit a response.
