No, it’s because I’m not bothered by whatever opinions people want to hold online and don’t hold any enmity towards them. I might disagree with them, sometimes vehemently, but that’s about the extent of my “dislike”.

Mocking him is fun. Mocking YOU is also fun.

Funny. Reading all these threads about Starving Artist, it looks like people are getting agitated rather than having fun.

Still trying, huh? Well, good luck with that.

Hey, I can only speak for myself. I’ve generously allowed OMG and SA to be my sources of amusement. They’re both just so _deliciously_ stupid and apologetic for their ignorance…

Thank you for this. Looking at it through your eyes made me laugh, HARD! 😃

I guess since nobody is going to let it go; my best opttion is to look at it the way you do. Thanks!

Either it’s the same person or he plagiarized it. No two doubts about it.

SA is an idiot and a friend. It’s hard to explain how those sets intersect.

Serious questions:  
Why does it matter to you (and some others) that people continue to post in these threads?

What would be gained if the **SA** threads all ended today?

**SA** makes defending man-boy rape creepy.

In related news, what proverb involved growing balls?

Some people are getting agitated, some people are having fun. Some people, depending on what extraordinary thing **SA** has said most recently, may be doing both, depending on when you catch them.

You wouldn’t be one of those people who thinks of this place as a hive mind, would you?
