What set me off on my rant was seeing the ten billionth time you have tried to convince everyone that you're benevolent and everyone else is a dippoop "pissing the bed". I never pissed the bed until way after I was accused of such. Then it was more of a "For phuk's sake, this again?"
You're never wrong, only "kidding" and "baiting".
So you admit that I didn't rant. Thanks. That's a start.
Second, you admit that you rushed to judgement when anyone should have been able to see I was making fun of even myself with that comment. So we're good there, too.
Third, you admit to transferring the "everybody else" analogy when it really doesn't apply. I want you to think hard on this. In the last year how many people on this board have I called ignorant, accused of pissing the bed or whatever? The number, my friend, is very, very small. Like in the ones. Or maybe fives. What's happened is you've allowed the constant mewling of one to somehow magically transform into the cries of the many. I've disagreed with many of you on various topics. But there's no "calling everyone" anything. Step back and take a look. I'll wait.
I wasn't "kidding" and wasn't "baiting" here at all. I rarely do either. I
was taking a shot at predictions of disaster -- including my own -- but you were so ready to start "this again" that you couldn't take ten seconds to figure it out. There was no "this again" until YOU went volcano. But that's okay. I don't mind.
