He’s not a lawyer, knows nothing about law, and is almost always wrong when he tries to talk about law. Nah, if we’re gonna make a special rule for **Dio** , I’d settle for a limitation on the number of different posts he can make in the same thread insisting on the same thing. ---

You do all realise that Dio is right now masturbating furiously, pumped up by the thought that with all this attention he will break that 60000 post barrier by Thursday? Yeah, whacking off, right this minute. Think about it. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Sorry I wrecked the fun you were having beating up a woman. Classic. This is my favorite part of the Dio Show, the recasting of his flailing retardation as White Knight heroism. “I’m sorry I wouldn’t agree with you that rape parties should be legal.” “I just think it’s wrong to kick puppies. I guess you disagree.” “All I said was people shouldn’t punch other people’s kids in the face!” ---

Think about it. Yeah, but he used to get positive attention. So that’s like jackin’ it to Marilyn Monroe with baby powder scented Vaseline and finishing into a silk hankie and washing your hand in flowery soap and taking a walk outside in the brisk air with a smile on your face and a whistle in your heart, feeling released and relieved. Now he is just going for any kind of attention he can get, which is like jacking it using used Crisco while leering at reruns of Snookie on The Jersey Shore, hating yourself a bit more with each animal grunt as the sweat drips off your lip and onto your extended tongue and you taste the salty shame and your self disgust as your body begins to shudder and your breath comes in jagged, ragged convulsions and you spill your humiliated seed into a stiff and filthy gym sock. See the difference there? ---
