I was more than a little cranky when I wrote that. I had to spend the entire weekend collecting/fabricating evidence for my defense on Federal weapons charges. Made me a little out of sort. I never do this sort of thing except in anger. The prison psychologist says that means I am making progress. ---

tomndebb said: > [@](#): > > Gee, at least somebody notices that I post on this board. Uh-huh. Nope, Tom, never noticed you. Certainly never thought to myself, "Gee, I think I’ve made an eloquent post on this topic, one full of intelligence and wit, and which proves my point (and, by inferrence, my intelligence) quite nicely… Oh, fuck. Tom replied. He’s taking my theory apart piece by piece, proving me to be the sack of self-righteous, uninformed shit that I really am. Fuck. And he does it all so casually and off-handedly, and worst of all, after reading his posts, I realize he’s probably right and I’m just an idiot." Nope, definitely never noticed you. I’d call you some long string of dirty words, but I probably deserve them more than you.
