I am not sure if your are joking, but that is what I have always figured you were doing. Despite what others say, its apparent to me that you are not loony (I am not a Brahman conscious- psych doctor like Peter, but I am in Jesus/Elvis/McQueen consciousness) -- you switch on a dime to articulate posts (occasionally). However, by getting people to speak badly of you, they take on your karma.
