Actually, it _was_ justice. That's the whole point. He did to you what you did to others. So, you are the "victim" of your own tactics. Victim is a word that represents a wide range of meanings in English. You were the victim of his parody in the same sense that I was just the victim of a chess trap by my opponent. Erik had you dead to rights with his parody. He was guilty of acting like Jeroen. There are many of us, due to our sense of manners, who refuse to treat you the way you treat us. Erik did what you do. He _copied_ your post. That's why a no one springs to your defense. It was considered a bit crude, but just. > Dan, your own wife has been victim of some horrible things in her childhood. > When she first told you about it, did you tell her she should shut up about > it? This is a wonderous example of how you post. You equate real suffering due to incest to your snit about someone giving you some of your own medicine. The only possible logical explanation that I can come up with for this attitude is a complete unwillingness/inability to think about others. How dare you trivialize real suffering by comparing your whining to a the damage done to a little girl. Have you no shame, sir? Does anyone in the world beside Jeroen matter? Dan M.
