   So that's a licence to carry on like he does with you?

   That's little dramatic don't you think? Don's the only one with anything to   
   lose, and he doesn't seem to care.

   Since we're judging each other, I think you are a prime facilitator for Don.   
   You're obviously smarter than him in so many ways but are slumming it by   
   condescending to him, and there is a danger in that for you, but not from   
   me. Perhaps he voices sentiments you share but can't express in your current   
   life. I don't know, and don't really want to.

   There's little uptake for anything like that. I blame that primarily on   
   rednecks monopolizing the board, and secondarily on those that facilitate   
   it. See above.

   Isn't Don the false dichotomy guy?

   I'm no cop. Occassionally, when pissed off enough, I've been a pretty   
   effective vigilanti. They too are part of the cosmic order. I think you're   
   just annoyed that your 'show' has been pre-empted to some extent, and you   
   have said as much. I find it disappointing that you get your kicks the way I   
   think you do.

   Thanks. Once is enough. Hope you're feeling better now.

   Reserving your rights, or granting mine is just a empty rhetorical gesture   
   as niether is yours to take or give. Just take note that I didn't call you a   
   single name, and I count 8 coming my way, so you're winning....I guess.
