Lovin’ it. An interesting look on the dark side - I can’t write fiction this good. Well after all “fiction needs to make sense” - (paraphrased from) Mark Twain

You people are too easily amused. It appers to me that he was created by the members on this board by giving his psychotic ramblings attention.
Why do so many of you thrive on harrassment?
I’ve been around since March '99, and this is the most bizarre spectacle I’ve seen yet. I agree with whoever said it’s like going to a mental hospital to gawk at the lunatics.
It appears that there’s a new sheriff in town.
Sheriff Blockhead is going to clean up this board, so stay alert, people.
Yeah, well. We’ll just get Lucy to come on by and yank the football away from good old Charlie Brown here.
He’s baaaack! Take your pick, Formeragent/Mickeylikesit, etc. This is moving past amusing and getting annoying.
How often does this Phaedrus type stuff happen?
Check out these two threads for our newest psycho:

NewtonsApple goes psycho and tries to get medeval on David B.'s ass, then returns as ‘formerposter’ with threats aplenty.

Just confirming that my ass is, in fact, the wisest part of my body.
Actually, Blockhead has a point. Jumping on someone for sincere ignorance is kind of fun, or can be if it’s done in a light spirit and they are mature enough to take it so. But when it becomes obvious that a person has other “issues” it becomes pointless. Best just to ignore them completely, not respond to their posts, and generally ostracize them as long as their contributions are as flaky as this gang that’s been passing through lately. I suspect most will either calm back down or leave; isn’t that the goal?
AAAARGHHH! I’m really confused. I’ve seen “Phadreus” used as a noun, verb, dangling participle, and NOW and adjective. Anyone want to explain or do I need to delve back into the archives?
O’k, the curiosity got me and boy am I sorry. Now my excedrin number 5 headache is worse. I think, being in the medical profession, it would be wise to advise this person to get back on his lithium! WOW!
