No. Or not the way you'd like to think. No panic, nothing out-of-control. That's your fantasy, and also an example of what we've been talking about. The contrast is between what you wrote below and the sick, twisted, dishonest, sadistic crap you usually write, the gotta-get-Judy/Ann/Ravi/ DrD/Robin/whoever hysterical tirades that are your stock in trade, the smarmy "I'm just pushing buttons" garbage, the faux-Tantra nonsense, the utter lack of even the faintest wisp of self-knowledge. You can dish it out, but you can't take it, never have been able to take it, not since I've known you. You think you're entitled to gratuitously shit on anybody you feel like shitting on without ever having to take responsibility for it. You're a coward and a bully and a cheat and a phony and just generally a disgrace as a human being. One pretty little word picture and photo does not erase all that ugliness we're forced to endure from you. If you feel put-upon because you're getting reamed out for your toxic rubbish instead of getting strokes for your "creative" effort, tough. Live with it. We don't like having to live with you either. > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > So it's Friday, and the End Of The World to boot.
