FFL,

I prompted Nick to answer me, to see what his philisophy is. I realize now, that yes I obviously do agree with the guy and everyone else's stance on the issue of the ethics involved with rumor reporting. I am here, arent I?

I apologized to Nick later on, but things were already out of control in here, but what am I to do about that now? I fueled the fire, I'm not proud of it, but what's done is done. I sometimes dig deeper into a hole because I already get into one then think, "what's a little deeper gonna do?" Sometimes I just fall into my own traps.

I sometimes argue a point, that I dont even agree with, to validate the point that I have agreed with all along. When people get pissed at my "stupidity" they sound off and make very intelligent remarks, building a case for why "my" thoughts are absurd. I am clearly able to see, in plain text, what my own line of thinking is, that I could not put a finger on before. It's like reverse psychology.

Sorry peeps.

And...scene!



That's also a hallmark of these little episodes: after 2-5 pages of massive piling on and brutal verbal assaults, Chris "realizes" his error in judgement, explains it all away in a paragraph or two that I can't even fully comprehend upon four readings...and the seas calm a bit.

Until next time...



As for the "Man on the Moon" movie, I've seen bits and pieces. Not a fan of Carrey or Kaufman, so the incentive to watch one lunatic play another wasn't there. I did enjoy the scenes with Marilu Henner. Meow.



Oh, and I learned a new word/phrase today, thanks to - I'm assuming - LoCash and his alteration of Messiah's custom title...

I wonder how many Google searches for "dementia praecox" there have been this morning?

He should be honored. It's almost like an Ars title.

Soooo what is Messiahtosh now trying to save face by saying it was all a reverse psychological experiment? He showed himself as an assface, that's all.....nothing more to see here.

btw, Andy Kaufman was a genius...... Messiahtosh?
