Yeah, but a lot of us are still bitter about not being able to rescue his Little Chef oven.

I had a stalker from this board once (banned member I believe). He tracked down my mother through some obscure post I made and sent her an excerpt of things that I had posted over the years. He got back a very sarcastic and pithy reply from her. She told me about it, made fun of my user name and that was the end of it. I am a child of my parents and not that different from them. They are even more extreme than I am in many ways so appealing to people associated with me in real life won’t get you very far. Either they already agree with me, have more radical views of their own or have heard the same shit from me personally many times before.

There are a few former coworkers that are active members that I introduced to these boards. Some of the stuff I say, sound far-fetched but I always know I have people that know me in real life that could call bullshit if I said something that was really untrue.

Anybody wants to figure out who I am, there is enough data in my mountain of posts for it; I’ve met some posters in person. My mail is in my profile.

Now, if some of my old managers got copies of my posts about them, I’d get drowned by the whinning… oh God the whinning!
