Grow a brain, Janos Blazi. It was a deliberate spoof of your idiotic line. Too subtle for you, obviously. Sigh, what a cretin you are. Of course, I also actually mean it. I criticize people's behavior harshly some times, but I do not _attack_ them. | (1) Anette Stegmann posted some trange views here and then you told her | that she was an idiot. Find the quote. You will find that not only are you an unintelligent and despicably stupid person, you are also unable to remember well enough to avoid being exposed as a liar. I kind of appreciate that you go to these lengths to prove what kind of character you are. | (Now I do not like her too much [...]) How amazing that you still do not understand that this newsgroup is not a forum to talk about what you like or not about other people. This is the only topic of such a staggering amount of your posts that I doubt that you can even think in other terms than your feelings for people. | (2) There was another case more recently where somebody said something you | did not like and then you started attacking him immediately [...] This is an _example_? Can you _be_ more vague? You do not even want to do the legwork of finding the goddamn articles that are your examples! Could you _try_ to relate to the sheer exasperation that every reader of your inane babbling must experience? But since I remember it, let me tell you what it was: It was an example of an _intelligent_ response to criticism considered unfair. How unusual that is! He also took care to avoid the things he was criticized for. I am sure you missed that. Of course, you did not understand this, and failed to get the point completely. How amazing that you do not even grasp this. | Finally (now an attack follows) [...] What the hell is the _point_ with your annoying behavior? | I tried to analyze the way you are and myself: [...] It is because you are a dog who needs a master who can tug your leash. The despicability of your servility is only matched by a behavior that only invites harsh responses. | I think: as well as I can. No, you do not. It would be a tragedy of biblical proportions of what you do is the best you can do. A human being cannot actually _be_ so retarded and still find his way to Lisp. That means there was once a glimmer of something that caused your miserably underutilized brain to work long enough to find Lisp. That kind of random spark betrays a potential that you have chosen not to realize at all. Idiot savants aside, really unintelligent people simply do not display the amount of sustained concentration necessary for them to discover something as out of the way and complex to learn (for them) as Lisp. So you _must_ be playing the despicable, annoying moron. Quit playing, and THINK! /// -- The past is not more important than the future, despite what your culture has taught you. Your future observations, conclusions, and beliefs are more important to you than those in your past ever will be. The world is changing so fast the balance between the past and the future has shifted.
