   I don't remember your 'day one'. Were your posting habits different then   
   than now? Did you start off being a cool guy, perhaps even showing a   
   modicum of interest in reading and writing, who for no reason at all,   
   out of the blue, started getting lynched by a bunch of irrational people   
   to such an extent and for such a length that you perceived your only   
   viable method of retaliation would be to start acting like an enormously   
   stupid buffoon altogether disengaged from mind and reality? Is this how   
   you became who you are today, Dockery? Make your case, Dock-- I'm not a   
   cabbalist, I'll judge you fairly. Your tears of whine won't go unnoticed   
   by my cosmically alert heart. And stop acting like Tamponius is your   
   empathiser, you imbecile. Although he's got very little room to speak,   
   he's made it clear many times what he thinks of you: a loser beyond   
   measure. To be perfectly honest, Dock, it's pretty damn difficult not to   
   think of you as one of the electronic world's most pathetic losers. I've   
   tried; been nice to you, tried to reason with you, but nothing works.   
   Your loser instincts are so pervasive, so deeply and hardly wired into   
   that stone-fried egg of yours that you just can't cope with anything   
   other than the loser's life.
