Manhattan,

I can’t change the way you feel about me. But I was worried about you (I figured you must live pretty close to where it happended with your user name and all). I am glad to see you are alright at least physically that is. I can’t imagine what ya’ll are going through there.

I am not evil vengeful maybe but not evil. I started most of those threads out of hate for terrorist and what they have to my country men, women and children.

I guess I felt death was to good for them in comparison to what they did to this country Tuesday. If you think I am a inhumane monster for that, than maybe I am.

Just for kicks . . . Bin Laden’s been estimated [here](http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2001/09/13/osama-usat.htm), [here](http://www.india-emb.org.eg/Section%207E/OSAMA%20BIN%20LADEN10.htm) and [here](http://www.emergency.com/bldn0798.htm) at being worth over $200 million, with his family (father’s construction company) being worth $5 billion.

Let me ask you an honest and sincere question; what do you really, truly believe is the likelihood that the guy posting as Wildest Bill is actually, literally, a homicidal maniac? Which do you think is more likely; that he’s a rootin’-tootin’ ol’ boy who tends to shoot words off he doesn’t really mean and is exaggerrating anyway, or that he literally wants to physically kill other people? We know he’s not posting from a prison, so which do you think is more likely?

Geez, maybe I’ve been too persistent in using Usenet, but on my list of Famed Internet Loonbars and Trolls, Wildest Bill is so far down the list he doesn’t make it on. He not only isn’t an All-Pro weirdo, he’s not even on the high school varsity squad yet. Spend a day perusing the messages in can.politics and you’ll think he’s Milton. But I’m hardened to trollship, I guess.

Now, it’s been a terrible week, and we’re all scared and horrified by what’s happened, and you have more right to be scared and horrified than most, which I why I don’t think you’re a jerk for saying what you have. Frankly, if they’d blown up five thousand people in my home town and knocked down the CN Tower I’d be a lot crazier than anyone I’ve seen on this board. But you’re still wrong, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. Sorry.

Psst-inside joke.

Esprix’s one trick is that he can turn crappy wine into really decent beer. THAT is why he rocks.

No.

I know of another Nostradamus, who is much older than yours truly, although not much older, who is severely criticised around here because of various translations of his predictions.

I do not wish to join him in his glass house, at which many stones are being aimed as we speak. 🙂
