Guest dah-ling,

You are obviously intelligent and well informed. You regurgitate and rehash here what others have written elsewhere quite well. You do put a lot of information out there on mudcat that people with less time to pour over leftist information sources might otherwise miss. So you are of some value.

But then there's the fact that you berate, abuse and bully anyone who responds to you with anything but blanket congratulations. ANY other response you mock.

As I said, the information that you provide is something of value and did you not beg for attention with your constant, misdirected foul condemnations, you might enjoy some real conversation. But you do not want conversation. You want attention. And you want to destroy.

I honestly hate to think of you as "an inner city public school educator." Do you treat the children with the same contempt as you treat us? You spew so much hate here, don't you loss yourself occasionally in school and verbally assault a child?   I do remember something you wrote about a child being "too precious".

As an active governing board member of your housing coop to what abuse do you subject those who don't perfectly fit into your mold, which from what I can see, is NO ONE?

In the gardening coop, if someone wants to try a gardening method of which you disapprove, do you scream at him or her, call them names and stomp on their vegetables?

You say "I also volunteer here and there all over the place as my time and energy and schedule allows". Honestly, how could you possibly have time? With all the reading and posting and creating of art that you do? Where does a miserable, abusive person like you volunteer? I shudder to think.

"I am an organic gardener." In the city? Wow, impressive. That costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time.

"I donated money and/or volunteered time this year so far to Nader, the Greens, the bus drivers strike fund, Democracy Now, Center for Victims of Torture, and KFAI radio."

I thought you were one of the working poor? As one of the working poor, I know that food and shelter very often override donating money and time to causes but you seem to live on some other plane so….

With all you claim you do, I find it very hard to figure it out how it is even remotely possible. Some of it may well be true the time spent on this forum alone excludes you from most of what you espouse.

"I love working as an artist activist in a progressive community of people." What's this art exactly? Is it a window display in your co-op called "Tourette and Me – a personal fucking diatribe". Or how 'bout "RANT: a play for one"? Am I close? " Ode to the Odious or Everyone but me" maybe?

You are such a fraud. Please, if you were a true peace lover you would treat others with love and peace and you do not. You are sycophant. You spend a lot of time ALONE in your "co-op" hating yourself and lashing out at the world. I believe you do very little to improve this world. You enjoy inflicting damage and yearn for retaliation because you hate yourself and the world. As I've said before go get a good spanking and move on for crissake.
