I see that you’ve now abandoned knee-jerks in favor of full body convulsions. Trust your walls are well padded. Wouldn’t want you to suffer additional brain trauma. But because I am a good guy, I’ll leave you with a soothing thought: Just because you’re (obviously) paranoid, doesn’t mean they (we) are not out to get you. Enjoy. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by elucidator \* > \*\*So, by your own admission, you’re **proud** to be a hippy? > > Way cool. \*\* Truth be told, I am old but not quite ancient yet, so I only caught he tail end of the Peace&Love Movement – although I enjoyed the er…benefits – but I’ll be dammed if I’ll admit to my Donna Summer/Barry White/Bee Gee’s lovin’, white suit wearing, do the Hustle days. Some things are hard to explain, much less be proud of. ---

**RedFury** I think you are forgetting the part about how your opinion doesn’t matter. ---

**milroyj** , I think YOU are forgetting the part about how your opinion is full of shit. ---

Nope, your opinion still doesn’t matter. Thanks for playing, we have some nice parting gifts for you. Or not. **milroyj** , you are an asshole and an American asshole at that. What makes you think the opinion of an American is worth any more than the opinion of a non American? Asshole. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Ludovic \* > \*\*I will never seriously read a **December** thread again. Once a poster has proven he plays fast and loose with basic message board protocol, what trust is possible from then on? \*\* I think we all should follow this example. There was a time when I’d pick apart his cites but I quickly learned that doing so was pointless. Now I just ignore him for the most part. Avoiding GD helps quite a bit in that regard. ---
