Prozac,

Who's "we?" You have a mouse in your pocket?

Uh, yeah, I'm really worried about "forfeiting" to *you* in whatever game
you think we're engaged in. Now look, like I told you, if you tell me what
you think I am -- which will, after all, reveal more about you than me -- I
will happily reveal the truth.

Because since you've signed onto this List, you have managed top piss off
just about EVERY regular member, and that's hard to do! Man, you've pissed
off people who are normally too pissed off at each other to agree about the
time of day. I am sure you are in more kill files than ant member on this
List right now. So I thought to send an "open letter." In other words, I
wanted to go on record that I was asking you, politely, to desist with your
barrage of emails! I thought that maybe some people would agree with me, or
at least have some wisdom regarding the situation.

Also, I have no real interest to carry on an offlist conversation with you.

What? First of all, you seem to think that your macho, aggressive stance is
somehow going to work on me. I don't know you, I've been caring less and
less about what you have to say, and in the last hour, I've lost any respect
I might have had for you. Whether or not you think me a coward is
insignificant to me. Having said that, I admit it's baffling, considering
your bald, controversial statements you've made in the past and then refused
to back up. 

Second of all, I certainly did not ask Doug to "stop spreading his opinion."
I *disagreed* with him. I engaged him in a polite discussion. He disagreed
back at me. Neither of us is crying "Opression!"

Why is religion such a nutty, hot-button issue with you? Did a gang of
Zionists steal your full set of Charlie's Angels cards back when you were a
kid? 

> Is Pynchon a cosmopolitan? <-- useful question, aight

Man, what do you even *mean*?

Did you drop more acid than usual today?
