Subject: RE: btw Rick Fielding isn't God
Right then.............uh, yeah................

I must be the dumbest sumbitch on the planet. What am I missing here? Lemmee see if I have this.............

If I feel bad and life is not going well, I can feel better by saying something to hurt somebody else. Right? Okay, I'll buy that. Its the strikeback thing in a way. I can feel better because I now am the equal or superior of everyone else because I've cut them down to size. "My dog's better than you dog."...........Is that about it? Its pretty immature, but what the hell..................If you're on the receiving end, it hurts, but we can generally take it. Good to see Rick admit it hurts.......because no matter what we say to the contrary, it always does, if even for only a moment.

But then I come to Part 2 of this "therapy" which seems to be that I'm supposed to understand that this poor soul needs my empathy, for their life is troubled and I should know that since they insulted someone who is well respected............Okay, I get it now. Its a call for help huh? And we're all supposed to be shrinks who can figure this out and pour out our best wishes for this troubled spirit?

Wait a minute. This only works if it can be done anonymously? ...............Look, I'm getting lost here. Anonymous flamers are troubled folks calling out for our understanding and we need to be sympathetic to their situation, whatever it is because we don't know, and help them through their troubles by giving them that understanding they are looking for.

And here all this time I just thought they were assholes. Now is this gonna' be true all the time or should I know something else? Like maybe sometimes its a cry for help and sometimes its an asshole? How do I know which is which? I mean like I hate to waste a lot of good thoughts on an asshole. Do you think you could help me out and let me know? Like if you want help or understanding or just some idle BS, you could somehow let me know? Maybe you could sign your posts with "Help."

HEY!!! Here's a novel idea!!! Start a thread and tell us what's happening and what the problem is and you'll probably get a lot of response. I'm sure I've seen that happen around here.

Geeziz............................
