Re: tyranny of the 1st graders???

I used to think you were just a world class *** who lacks self
awareness. Now I'm starting to think you may just be the best
fisherman to hit rsfc in a long time. Sometimes after reading one of
your posts I lean one way on this issue, other times I lean the other.
With this one, I'm definitely going with the fishing. The gratuitous
discussion of not opening the door for your gf was the giveaway here,
after all what was the point of that besides to elicit "you ***!"
responses? You never really took a truck driver for $3000 either, did
you? Dambit man, you've been playing all of us, including me, on this
line for months. Come clean and claim your rutsie.

Because the alternative, that this is really you, is just too ugly to
contemplate.
