Excuse me folks, while I take grab GUEST by the shirtfront and take him aside for a quick shake and a dope slap.

You're the same one who barged into a weight loss discussion and harped on about how you should humiliate fat people into losing weight. You said you work with teenagers in an urban high school. I pity the youngsters who you come into contact with. I pray that the suicide rate in your school isn't a staggering blister on your states' statistics. Buster, whatever you are, you've got shit on your shoes and we can smell you from a mile off. You're a malcontent who is here strictly to cause mischief and play nay-sayer to whatever is discussed. Do you know one jot about MUSIC? This is the BS section of a MUSIC discussion list. We're all MUSICIANS or PERFORMERS or MUSIC SCHOLARS who take a breather at the bottom of the page every so often.

I'm sure you'll have a lot to say about this, offering nasty rebuttals, name calling, innuendo. Perhaps you'll be stalking more threads where there are posts by myself and others who find you to be a selfish little putz. It's a mess with you around already.

Letting go of the creep.

Well, I feel better. Thanks, folks, for offering PM support this weekend. While this guy is an annoyance and his remarks aren't being taken personally, it's always good to hear nice words from old friends.

As Shakespeare said

Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatch'd, unfledg'd comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel but, being in,
Bear't that th' opposed may beware of thee.
