  It appears rather more clear that you have a serious problem than I do.
  Of all the filth that gets spewed here, those who attack me do so much
  worse than I have ever done that I take serious comfort in such displays
  of self-incrimination.  The ability to invent all these insane things to
  "explain" someone else speaks _volumes_ about a person.  Ever notice how
  all these people who attack me always have to tell us stories from their
  own lives to relate to something they know made themselves go bad?  And
  that they never get close to something that actually _could_ explain what
  they _desperately_ would like to see explained?  One is left to wonder
  what they invent about other things they are mentally unequipped to deal
  with, like terrorist attacks and natural disasters and what not.  Whole
  religions could be built around the will to _demonize_ that such people
  seem to think it is a good idea to tell the world they possess.  Amazing.
