You mean, like, he should hang himself by the neck until he is dead?

Why don't you try it and let us know what it's like?

Why would you suggest that I do something so horrible as all that? I
am a sentient, loving being in this here cosmos. In my opinion, you
should celebrate my existence, as well as that of all other living
creatures on this primordial coagulate we refer to as planet earth.

If your existence contributed one iota of net gain to the well-being of
anyone, anywhere in the universe, I'd agree.

I was going to suggest his food and internet access perhaps bolster
our economy slightly, but he's no doubt mooching both from his
parents. I'd suggest his trollish nature inspires us to practice
typing, making us slightly more productive in more lucrative efforts,
but this also is outweighed by the expedited onset of CTS. Hey, how
about the value of the satisfaction Met fans achieve when exposed to
the sharp contrast of horrific yet typical Yankee-fan obnoxiousness?

I'd agree, except for the fact that this is not typical Yankee-fan obnoxiousness. Whatever Wretch may actually believe and hold dear, if it bears any resemblance to what he says, it is coincidental. Reading Wretch's trolling is like watching a Kabuki play about obnoxious Yankee fans trolling. It's not the real thing, and it doesn't even pretend beyond a certain degree of stylization. You have to buy into it, and not only have the majority of us not done so, but he doesn't seem to realize we never paid for the tickets.

I used to think it was simple, old-school propaganda of the Axis Sally or Lord Haw-Haw school, but I now see that he doesn't care especially that we know even that is a fraud; I think the best comparison is to a "heel" wrestling manager, representing "heel" wrestlers: the Yankees. It's all part of the kayfabe.

The problem with that is the characterization of the Yankees as heels: I don't mind, but I'm not sure the Skanks or most of their fans would agree. Which might explain why Wretch is as despised in the Yankee NG as he is here, but not why he continues to indulge in this rather peculiar hobby...
