No.

Not by a long shot.

I don't deserve the treatment I receive from a number here, no.

But perhaps I do: Only a drama queen like me could possibly object, of course -- an urbane sophisticate would welcome it as but an amusing divertissement -- to being publicly (but anonymously) defamed for half a decade as, among other such things, a voyeur, a liar, a religious bigot, an incompetent, a racist, a thug, an anti-Semite, a homicidal fantasist, a sociopath, and a hack.

Yeah. Something like that.

Fortunately, I already know in advance that, unlike the folks who came after the Prophet, most of the people here fire blanks.

All of our weapons are useless in the face of the awesome power of the DCP patented passive-aggressive put-down. It's too bad that Jesus Smith and Joseph Christ weren't similarly armed. We can only plead for mercy when you come back in the last days judge the 12 tribes.

You would, I guess, prefer that I be nastier and more hostile.

Oh well. Learn to live with disappointment.

I tend to be quite merciful. You can ask my students.

Still, you ought not to count on that. You should shape up.

On the contrary, I would just prefer that you start owning up to your own hostility, instead of, after making a passive-aggressive jab at someone, and then feigning innocence. I suspect you know you're not fooling anyone, but you know that the denial itself is another way of pissing people off and garnering more negative attention for yourself, which is ultimately your purpose. But I digress.

I'll try to remember that when I see you flying through the air on the right hand of El.

I've always had a special place in my heart for amateur pop psychology and attempted mind-reading, and that's not about to change.

You act in a way that invites negative attention, consistently. Perhaps I'm wrong that you're doing it intentionally. Maybe someone has a gun to your head and is telling you what to post. I've heard less plausible theories from FAIR and the Maxwell Institute.

DCP has a point. Everyone is responsible for their own behavior when it comes to reacting to DCP. Myself included.
