> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > Call it a gloat thread. Considering that nothing will come of it, nobody will give a shit, and the same sort of behavior will play out again and again in the future with no repercussions, I’m not really in the mood to gloat. At best, it merits a bitter, scoffing chuckle: so here goes. _Heh_. ---

With all due respect, **Vinnie** , and it is a considerable amount… If that’s all we do, its all we’ll ever have. And no, I don’t so much think of it as gloat but more along the lines of “The next time we say something like this to you, you think maybe this time you’ll listen?” I’m not interested in criminal proceedings, however gleeful such a prospect might be, there are crimes quite beyond justice. And those are the crimes that call most for public display, for public recognition, and disgrace. ---
