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!

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.

We've noticed the trouble you have dealing with
an external reality, Barry. Maybe it's time to
stop trying to roll your own.

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).

Um, no. That would be the reality you fantasize
you're creating, Barry, sorry.

Fourteen, actually. And I'd be delighted to spend
them knocking you around some more.
