_Internal_ fighting words, YES! I’ve decided to forgo all the wisdom passed down through the ages, and abandon the search for spiritual peace, in favor of carefully crafting the exact reckless personality that would be easiest for me to maintain. But with that will come an escalation in the relentless struggle to ignore the voice of reason, a voice which is growing to an annoyingly high volume as of late. My greatest concern at the moment is that none of this makes any sense, but still somehow manages to contradict itself. > >I’d take some comfort in the fact that lots of people do that sort of > >thing in newsgroups, and that I’m not at all alone in having this > >problem, if not for the fact that it’s depressing that people misbehave > >so much in this medium. > and so’s them > so what are you going to do about it? hey, punk?

Blurt, I do not feel attacked or offended. I just haven’t had *any* decent blocks of spare time to get online in several weeks, and actually, your post expired prematurely from my reader (in only a few days – typical of @Home sporadic post retention) before I could get back to it. Some parts of it confused me, but it seemed overall better just to let it go — which I had to do anyway with my time constraints. On the other hand, I didn’t want you to feel ignored … so I was left in a quandry about what to do, and just never had free time to resolve the quandry (which is why I’m responding to this right now, with one foot out the Mom’s Taxi door — if I wait to get back to it, it won’t happen at the rate things are going 
If you still think there’s unfinished business, I hope I can address it if and when I ever get some chunks of free time … which right now is looking like may be in October … what a summer I’ve had! Me P.S. – Cilantro lovers unite !! I can’t imagine how anyone can hate cilantro. P.P.S. – I HATE BELL PEPPERS AND BEETS !! P.P.P.S. – I don’t do food. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Blurt Durtwurd wrote: > Anybody who knows me well enough to know that I often regret what I say > in rants that I post, will not be surprised that I now feel bad about my > attitude in some of my recent posts.

Response:
Anybody who knows me well enough to know that I often regret what I say in rants that I post, will not be surprised that I now feel bad about my attitude in some of my recent posts. As usual, I felt bad about saying stuff even before sending the posts, knew I wasn’t being entirely fair, but the ranting side was more active at the time, and gradually the other more rational side took control, and although both are still present, the cooler head is now prevailing. I’ve attacked BB2, the mainstream medical community, the alternative medical community, Prodigy, and others, and probably offended just about everyone to some degree somewhere along the way. I’m aware that I wasn’t being totally fair in any of those rants, and although I know when I’m behaving that way, I can’t guarantee I won’t go on another ranty, defiant, lectury streak in the future. But I’ll try not to. I’d take some comfort in the fact that lots of people do that sort of thing in newsgroups, and that I’m not at all alone in having this problem, if not for the fact that it’s depressing that people misbehave so much in this medium.
