If your reading comprehension is anything like Scratch's, then I can see why you would conclude this.

You don't get it do you? Do you really think opinions like this make any difference to me? I did this on RFM, and on Exmo-Social, and what they think of me means -zilch!

Why do you think that what you think of this board and the posters on it would mean more than zilch to us?

My post wasn't intended to offend. I am sorry it had that effect. I will bother you no more.

I haven't noticed the pain because I've been too busy collecting all my personal information, copies of everything I've ever published, all the email I've ever sent and all known photos of myself to post here. I sure hope I don't miss anything. I don't want to be called a lowballing, lardass, nazi b**** bio-terrorist, hypocritical barracuda anymore!!!!

It really is kind of crazy for people to treat each other like that, isn't it?
No matter. You know I think the world of you. Having a day of flashbacks: listening to The Smiths and Violent Femmes.
I guess I should come clean. "Blixa" is the name of my cat. He's named after german musician/actor Blixa Bargeld, formerly of Einstürzende Neubauten and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.
Whew! Glad I got that off my chest!
In related news the scholarly book on Nick Cave that I'm writing a chapter for (about murder ballads) has found a publisher. Soon as school's out I'll be going down the Library of Congress to work in the folk song collection: I'll also be looking at Mormon murder ballads, too, but that's mostly for "other" projects.
Maybe I better post my sabbatical application here too, so everybody's up to speed on my academic work? Nah, I know better than to announce details of my work before its done. I've had ideas ripped off before. Y'all are just gonna have to wait---or PM me.

Every time I hear "Into My Arms" I think of you.
Mormon murder ballads? Never heard of such a thing. Sounds interesting, to say the least.
I'd explain my nick, but pretty much everyone here knows its origins by now.
