No, the most amazing thing is that it was rhetorical and had its own answer: > I believe you have the choice to think and _could_ exercise it. But you did not, exactly as I had expected. Your need to portray me as the psychotic delusion you suffer from is disturbing. You see things and refuse to listen to any advice to pull yourself together. But that is not my problem, any more. You have proven that you cannot think under the pressure you have created entirely on your own. Pretty damn stupid. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
