What cracks me up are the inadvertent self-contradictions, such as between 1C and 2C above. Plus 1C is contradicted by the fact of Barry's having gone to the trouble to write the post in the first place (not to mention the zillions of others he's written boasting of how I've failed to get him to pay any attention to me). He really *is* just too STOOPID to admit my influence over him. > but that is the price we sometimes pay for the larger pleasure of exacting a > form of revenge.
