I often wish this forum was not anon so that I might learn what educational institutions you attended, and then, when the time comes, direct my children to those schools.
I should also let you know that I am somewhat hurt by the personal attack. I made a post to let others see how I perceive your posts. That is solely how I interpret what you post- I surely did not mean to imply it is, or is not, accurate to how you are IRL- it is just subjectively how you appear to me.
You reply with a coarse personal attack. I really didn't deserve that.
Can we start over, as friends?

Hank, those who resort to ad hominem attacks only do so b/c they cannot reasonably address the substance.
It's okay, Flower. We're here for you. I hate people, too. They are very stupid and shallow, and usually lack a creative wit. The latter is a human trait that we know disgusts you, but can't you just enjoy the fact that you are blessed with such a wonderful wit? If everyone were as witty or hip (or grammatically skilled) as you, the world would be a very boring place, would it not? If everyone stopped drinking pisco sours at the exact time that you designated them passe, upon whom would you look down? Without the squares, you are nobody. You need them to define you. If the entire world went pitch black, the blind man would no longer be blind. He would be just like everyone else.
We're here for you, Flower. We are the support group you may not think you need. You are wrong. Without us, you are just a guy sitting behind a desk in Minnesota wearing plaid pants, fervently searching for obscure bands and dreaming about unsolicited blow jobs.
It's okay, Flower. It's okay.
