Oh, man, is that pathetic. The one solipsist Barry's ever met was having a psychotic break, and he dealt with it by punching the guy in the stomach. How magnificently compassionate. Man, talk about anger issues! > exactly the same way it worked on you. Er, no. Somewhere along the line you have managed to convince yourself I'm a solipsist, but that's something you, er, created out of whole cloth (not to mention contrary to everything I've said about it). And you may well believe you punched me in the stomach--I suspect you have a lot of violent fantasies in which you do me physical damage-- but I'm afraid you created that all in your fevered little brain as well. > Theories that "I create reality" can't deal > with with the presence of an external reality. We've noticed the trouble you have dealing with an external reality, Barry. Maybe it's time to stop trying to roll your own. > He went into therapy and got better.

Nope, seven, six of which were mocking Barry's unprovoked attacks on me, the other mocking his unprovoked attack on Edg (the one where he said he shouldn't comment on Edg's lack of control, but he just couldn't keep himself from doing so).

That would be the reality you fantasize you're creating, Barry, sorry. > It's just an alternative theoretical point of > view, Judy. Don't get all angry about it.
