________________________________ From: "js at cimmeri.com" <js at cimmeri.com> Felony assault as a response to some zealot's silly, harmless words? You think this display of an excessively self-important ego demonstrates what a "better man" is? Talk about appalling, crude behavior. /"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" -- /Isaac Asimov C: It's rather sad too. I liked Dave McGuire (LOL I had to corect the Q I mistakenly put where the G belongs - I figured I'd better not!). If anyone were to back me up in the past, not that I was looking for any back up, he would be as likely as anyone basically. But it takes a little pressure for people to show their true colors. It's not that every last single person from New Jersey is a cowardly worthless little big mouthed punk. But in the 20 years I've lived here, it's really hard to find one single person of character. Sad I know, but put in your time and you might understand.That's why I'm leaving. My mother has an elderly next door neighbor who's lived here all her life and often screams on her front lawn "IT'S THE MOST CORRUPT STATE IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY!!". Brian should have kept his little trap shut. He didn't earn any additional clout on account of being an author. I couldn't take anymore. I don't feel inclined to apologize (do I get any apologies?), after all I'm not the arbiter of who does or doesn't wind up on the wrong side of the Judgment (and if that makes me a zealot - GUILTY!). Telling someone to go to Hell doesn't mean it's destined, or they have to. A constant barrage of niggling little retards who can't BUT call attention to a silly word can bring that out of someone sometimes. Unfortunately. God forbid someone should utter those words.
