Just wondering…if so, explain why. I’ve been told that I’m evil, but somehow, I find that hard to believe. Honestly, I’m more of a bitch. \<—note, this is true, I am truly a horrid, wicked bitch, **dpr** should send _me_ around the world. ---

Not evil, but I’m heinous from time to time. ---

But why are you heinous spooje? And what is the difference between being evil and being a bitch/asshole? These are the questions that are racking my brains right now. ---

Of course you’re evil, considering what you’re up to these days. You just ooze evilness. Me, I’m just Fräulein Evil. 😃 ---

I’m much too passive to be evil, and when it does come through, well, its just simply the company I keep. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CanadianSue \* > **I’m much too passive to be evil** I’m passively evil, myself. I don’t look for evil, but when it comes I embrace it. Oh yeah…sometimes I _do_ seek it out. ---

Evil requires focus and dedication. You have to _work_ at it. It requires consistency! But I can be heinous when the mood hits me, then return to my normal, jovial, pleasant self. I’m too lazy to be evil. ---

Hmm. Well I’ve been told on more than one occasion “You’re _eeeeeeevil_”. However, given the tone of voice it was said in, I’m thinking that it was meant as a Good Thing. Is that bad? 😉 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tatertot \* > \*\*And what is the difference between being evil and being a bitch/asshole? \*\* I think that evil people have malice in their heart and it takes a lot of thought, planning, and hate to be a truly evil person. Being a bitch/asshole should come naturally. I’m a bitch, been called so many, many, many times. I don’t deny it. It’s one of my better characteristics. I don’t take any shit from anyone and I stick up for myself. If that makes me a bitch, so be it. And I don’t think you’re a bitch **tater** … after all, you’re sending calenders and kinder eggs to some of the wonderful people of the SDMB. That makes you a _good_ bitch in my eyes. 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tatertot \* > \*\* > Oh well, back to the great midi search…😉 \*\* If you’re using and promoting the use of midis in the net then you are indeed evil. 😉 But seriously (why not?), I actually am surprised to even hear you described as a bitch. I’ve always thought you a fun, reasonable poster with a good turn of word and occasional biting wit. If THAT’S bitchy then there’s certainly a lot around here… ---
