To me FFL is broken if the efforts of the best-of-us are throttled. And, yeah, I did like the fact that my list excludes Barry, but I'm on record here dispising him to his face, and so why try to prod him with subtleties?
And what can I do to get you to stop YOUR snide darts that you have been peppering your posts with? You yelled bloody murder when I used your name in the title of a post, but you continue to campaign against me with smearing blurbs that insinuate that I am homosexual, a retarded Don Quxiote who doesn't get it that modern day Dulcineas consider a him a misogynistic boob, and a blind hate-filled projectionist. Should I start using your name in all my titles just to try to piss you off as you have been doing to me? You've openly announced that such an abuse "gets to you." Why shouldn't I just blast away at you now that I know your weakness? Turn around's fairplay -- you use your charm etc. to cast spells upon innocents in bars, why not me using your same morality and instead of triggering love in a young woman, I instead "see Curtis' weakness" and use it to trigger an anger? Same deal, Dude. You're hoping to get immorally lucky when you scout the herds for weak ones -- you never denied this -- so why can't I do the same to you and get my jollies manipulating your emotions? How about this for my next post's title: Curtis the Rapist -- Not! See? That would be true, but the search engines would still correlate your name with "rape." That would get you storming into Rick's mind and screaming "foul injustice," eh? I put you on my extra-posting list, because you do quality work here, but you need to practice emotional control when you find yourself doing character assassinations on those who have called you to appear in a moral courtroom and explain yourself. You're an elitist -- happily living high on the hog because you were born in the right family and have a good brain -- while the lower half of the bell curve is, what?, to be equally dismissed as you've attempted to have me dismissed here at FFL? Because the lower-half is poor or unable to draw a cogent conclusion, you think they are open to your ridicule and abuse and that you can share a beer with Barry and drool and never think about the travails of the world that you have simply never had to bear? If and when you do consider that poverty, lack of education, etc. can heavily skew a personality -- I see you saying, "Hooray, lots of wounded fishes to shoot at in my local barrels." Instead of, you know, "Humanity, oh humanity, what can I do to help you towards honesty, clarity, depth, integrity?" I have had some crippling blows -- hardly survived some in fact -- but I would not last a day in the shoes of almost any third worlder. Who here can even contemplate the stress of the masses let alone personally suffer that way? Just so, any predation upon any "lesser" person indicates your general attitude about rationalizing. Your Spanish bar drool is the equivalent of a GlobalBiz monster CEO slavering at the idea of "hitting that" -- "that" being the freedoms, the assets, and the dignity of the masses. You think because you haven't fallen down any slippery slope and found yourself a culture crushing captain of industry, that you're to be cut a break for doing in micro what they practice in the macro. I'm not going to be cutting such a break for you. And in case you didn't get it, let me slap your face with that threat again: besmirch me here again with any innuendo, and I'll start doing titles from hell that feature your name. If Rick kicks me out, it would be worth it just to see you squirm and maybe for a few seconds consider the plights of others who are bludgeoned daily by the various Janjaweed types who share your attitude about the less endowed. Wanna keep fighting or do the right thing and stop attacking my ass, and go about your business of generally adding some cogency here?
