Screw that , he clearly attacked me first in very demeanig ways. So demeaning that he would be cowardly to say that to my face. To say : " You're argument is bullshit, because I say so" is the same thing as saying to me: " You are an ignorant fucker and I have no respect for you and I spit on you" Didn't you read his other post where he says he trolls the internet deliberately looking to piss people off, and get them fired up ! ! !??? And you lectuer me ? ! He is, as I said, a pathetic little man. > > Even little cool-tempered ones like the one you made. That starts the machinery in motion again, and the snottiness will escalate to "bomb-dropping," as you put it in no time. >> Evil truimphs when good men do nothing. The internet is a place for cowards to spew their self-hatred onto others, and that is what people who argue in such demeaning ways are doing, when they say they only do it to get others fired up. He stated: "it is a hobby of his". Rick should have banned him for that admission alone. It is disgusting, and I would love to have in try that on me in person, face the face. He is, as I said, a pathetic, cowardly little man. You should take people to task for using demeaning arguments such as , "your argument is stupid because it is stupid, and becuase you are not smart enough". If you are going to lecture me for them insulting me, and me reacting like any rational man would, then you are no better than them. Sorry Bronte, you will discover, that FFL life is not a place to look for peace, it is mostly populated by mean old men who are so disappointed in their own lives that they attack others with hate filled irrationality. Don't look for peace and love here. These people here are the empty shells of the failure to find themsleves and any meaning in life, that they feel every day, and need to try to prove their worth on the internet. I like you enough to warn you to not seek discourse among the arrogant old men here who have no intention of rational discussion, only to vent their frustrations and noxious vapors upon others. Seek community with real bodies, not fake handles and cowardly grumpy old men. Tom Barlow, Vermont OffWorld
