Chasing ... Cutting (should be Amen)

[Can't Wait]

Well thank you so much Mr. Portner for filling me in on your name and
a little history to go with it, but I hope you don't think I fell for
your tricky maneuvering that avoided my question.  What I was
fascinated by, and still am, is not your actual name, like the name
Herr Schroder knows you by, but this clever series of letters and
digits AOL and the rest of the emailing world knows you by.  You see
I'm just guessing here, but would it be the serial number on your
lunch box?

As to 'flame wars', I'm sure that Pynchonites like to use that term
because it makes them think of rockets maybe, but I find the term
rather derogatory, and it thus has this type of sticky moral texture
to it.  I'm sure we all know, sir, but I'll tell you again, I'll tell
everybody again and again although I do not hope to turn again,
because I do not hope, because I do not hope to turn, that only God
shall judge our actions.  One has to Care about the topic at hand
before one can engage in 'flame wars', that is one must care about
what one is flaming on about.  Plus I would never swing at somebody
as I did yesterday in such a fashion as I did yesterday unless I was
fairly sure the swung upon would be relatively unaffected by the
swing.  For example I would never swing as such at T, but I will say
since I have her here (yes I'm convinced Terrance is a woman, but by
that I don't mean she's a bigot) that she is to extent engaging in
what you so dramatically announce as 'flaming', in that I understood
by her saying to the jbor 'you should investigate why you make such
accusations' a rather closeted way of actually saying 'you are a
self-loathing closet homosexual', and ultimately I value coming out
and just saying stuff straight (I mean that as a cock would, not a
heterosexual), even if it appears flaming, than, well, what's the
saying I've run out of steam, preaching out the side of the mouth.

Let's pray.
