> [@Aeschines](#): > > Cool, now all my enemies are officially active in this thread. Except the pittee himself. Excellent. Glad to see I’m not listed in your enemies: I’m just an objective bystander who considers you a crazy pompous idiot, the sort of buffoon who dresses in professor’s robes and harangues the students outside the academy. When I was in high school, I started a neopagan group. I read Starhawk religiously, went to Wiccan sabbats, and practiced solitary magick with turtle shells, candles, and wood ash. If I’d been online then, I still would have considered you a crazy pompous idiot. Consider this post my past soul’s temporally relocated pitting of you. > [@duffer](#): > > And some people like to try to knock down an argument by asking if a poster has gone to college. In case you’re talking about our recent exchange, no, a thousand times no. Your going to college demonstrates that higher education is graduating anybody these days, that’s all it means. Daniel ---

Good call, **Frank**. > [@Aeschines](#): > > Sorry, son. I _know_ your past soul. In fact, we’re good friends. He considers you total fucking sellout and wonders what happened to the good old days when you were actually in touch with yourself. Nonsense. He knew that he’d be a great forty-year-old, and he loved him some Kahlil Gibran: > [@Kahlil Gibran](#): > > Once, as I was burying one of my dead selves, the grave-digger came by and said to me, “Of all those who come here to bury, you alone I like.” > > Said I, “You please me exceedingly, but why do you like me?” > > “Because,” said he, “They come weeping and go weeping – you only come laughing and go laughing.” Daniel ---

In my defense, I never would have _started_ a thread just to show off, which is why I’m glad in a way Aeschines gave me the opportunity. If he (or anyone else) has any criticisms of actual merit, I’ll accept them, though perhaps not gladly. I _am_ glad, however, that NoPoohBoy showed up. He’s one of my favourites. ---
