Are you suggesting our "writing" isn't really writing? What is it, then? Whatever it is, do you dislike what I "write" because it somehow conveys the impression of naughty words, as for example I might be accused of were I to implicitly suggest that someone is an SOB, as you appear to do above? Have you taken the trouble to notice that my vocabulary has only occasional recourse to those terrible "bad" words which so distress you? Have you taken any notice of the fact that you yourself are rude, nasty, abusive, obnoxious, mendacious, hebetudinous and very nearly hebephrenic? It might lighten the gloom of your no doubt miserable existence to realize that you don't need to watch television merely to have the *dolce far niente* of relaxing before a "jerk" (did I count four letters?) in full majestic supererogatory superciliousness of "jerkiness" made manifest. Reflect a moment, Madame. Take a moment to reflect and use a mirror if you need one. >I always thought >foulmouthed bullies who harrassed people with insult and innuendo were >just that, foulmouthed bullies, and nothing more. I guess some people see >it very differently. I guess some people see *you*, Ms Very Nasty Insulting Person, differently than you seem to see yourself. What a repulsive pile of week-old cabbage you seem to me, with your whining and insults and putrid reek of hypocrisy. >I'm sorry, it just seems very funny to me that there are actually people who >see obnoxious behavior as "art" or "craft." What is even funnier are the people like you and Tim Maroney, who think it is OK for them to flame, but not OK for other people to flame back. You claim that I boast of my rudeness, but you fail to see that you lack the honesty to admit even to yourself that you are a veritable tornado of vicious and sometimes baseless personal attack. >I mean, after all, we're talking about a guy who uses the net as a vehicle >to insult people he's never met just because he disagrees with them or >doesn't like them. Unlike Rhonda, who merely uses the net as a vehicle to insult people she's never met just because she disagrees with them or doesn't like them, *and* threatens lawsuits as well. >And we're talking about a guy who once threatened >someone else with exactly the same thing Maroney threatened him with, >a libel lawsuit, over what was apparently exactly the same sort of thing! And were talking about a gal who not only threatens people with lawsuits, she tells lies about how other people do this when they did not, and then accuses them of hypocrisy for doing something they didn't do, but she did. >This makes him a bigger hypocrite than Maroney! I don't know if this is even possible. But you're working on it. >While Maroney was a >hypocrite for trying to have someone's account trashed after his own was >trashed (despite the just cause in the case of Matthew), Wiener and Smith >denounce Maroney for daring to even think about a libel suit after Matthew >himself had done the same thing! If you would bother to *read* what we said, you would find that this is not true. Or else you did read it, and are a foul-minded liar. >I'm sorry, people, these two guys are two of >a kind, and deserve the same treatment. Matthew is no more of a "hero" than >Maroney is.

You write like a rabid mink and seem to think you are Miss Manners. 'Taint so, bitch-on-wheels.
