   so you do care what other people think of you. if that were the case, why on   
   EARTH would you be so proud of that wretched video tape you allowed Michael   
   Cook   
   to post in public? have some dignity, dockery, for god's sake!

   really? where did you obtain this information? could you please site your   
   sources? thanks.

   but it is, dockery. it's the only thing you have in your life. why else would   
   allow that wretchedly bad video of you ever see the light of day? you don't   
   care   
   what kind of attention you get, as long as you get it, by any means necessary.   
      
   therein lies your problem.   
      
   >In other words, I'm satisfied with   
   >the attention I have, at this point. Got it now, JRS?   
      
   but why just stop at the level of embarrassment that you've already achieved?   
   go   
   for broke! get out there and create the baby dockery dance!   
      
   you really have absolutely NOTHING to lose, you know.   
      
   >> and what's the problem? you've already shown you don't care what you

   i'm not the one who aspires to get attention by any means necessary, dockery,   
   you are. think of the attention you'll get if you created the baby dockery   
   dance? think of the fame? SURE, you'd be the laughing-stock of the western   
   world, but you could certainly convince yourself that being the laughing-stock   
   of the western world is a good thing. you're pretty good at convincing yourself   
   that your total personal embarrassment is a good thing.
