1) "Know your enemy" does not mean "make as many enemies as you can".

2) You are hardly what I would call a warrior.

3) When it all comes down to it, you really have no idea just how many
   enemies you have made.  For every person who votes for you for
   Net.Idiot (and is therefore "the enemy"), there are an undeclared
   number of people who voted for someone else but still are "the enemy",
   an undeclared number number of people who didn't feel like voting but
   are still "the enemy", and a number of people whose votes have bounced
   but are still "the enemy".  The list of people who vote for you are
   just the merest tip of the iceberg.  Look at it this way, T@d - has
   anyone ever posted an article that said "Bravo, T@d, you were really
   on the mark that time"?  Or sent you mail with words to that effect?
   Know your friends, T@d; those pitiful few that have sent you mail or
   posted agreeing with you are the only non-enemies you've got.

	Your plans and tactics seem to be centered around making as many
people as you can mad at you so that they will get really riled up and vote
for you.  In that case, you have succeeded - if you can call making yourself
look like a scuzzy little jerkbag a "success".

	Yeah.  Right.
