I posted some opinionated, possibly inflammatory things on the mb earlier and I’m feeling guilty already. So I’m flaming myself. What the hell is the matter with you?? Do you even have a brain in that head or is it just stuffing to keep your skull from caving in?? How dare you insult longtime users of this board, as though your thoughts are more important than theirs! Cretin. Ignoramous. Miscreant. Buffoon. Lout. Strange, I don’t feel any better. Feel free to join in, maybe that will help. * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy ---

Hey Gr8Kat, No need to flame yourself unless you enjoy it. I think one function of these boards is to allow you to try out half-assed ideas or to take some position that you don’t really believe just to get people thinking and talking. Others may flame you, but since nobody knows who you really are, what does it matter? (You’d be surprised if you knew that I am really Alan Greenspan.) ---

I know, I’m just stupid and take it _personally_ when people disagree with me. I’d be lousy on a debate team because I’d cry after every rebuttal. Actually, I was hoping you were John Bloom, especially after seeing your posts on “Movies only a moron would want to see” 🙂 * * * “I hope life isn’t a big joke, because I don’t get it,” Jack Handy ---
