Ma'am, I will remind you of the quote, "Never attribute malice to that which can adequately be explained by stupidity." But you're not alone; I've made the same mistake too. Now, in our case, we can change it to
"Never attribute malice to that which can adequately be explained by stupidity, system maintenance, or software upgrade."
It's a dude, Paul. I saw it clearly earlier than others, but now we are all in agreement that you sir in fact talking to a dude.

I'm not sorry, I finally realized that in today's age, bbs systems are just filled with bitter, angry rejects. It was a relief to shut it down. Just like Ben shut down his 533 attempts at it. Too much trouble for a bunch of whiny idiots.

Ah, that explains a lot. The shame and denial of the alcoholic can cause a lot of anger and resentment that gets externally directed. Whoever took him to his first bar and bought him his first drink should be ashamed of themselves.

You wouldn't even make a good insult comic because the things you say aren't entertaining, they're just name-calling... You're incredibly angry and bitter about something, and until you come to terms with that, all the cruel, hurtful sarcasm in the world - this defense mechanism you've built - will do nothing to make you happier.
RUN, PINBACK, RUN! She's figured you out!

Did you suffer great trauma when younger? Child of alcoholics? Cruel father? Abused as a child? Bullied? Attacked by goats?
I could believe any of these.

Yet Pinback is normal/has a normal life.

And you and the other guy are carnival freak shows. Hmm

Please email me so we can catch up.

Seems like an obnoxious know it all and a self-proclaimed expert on everything.

Obviously has difficulty making friends. Too much ego to outwardly wonder why nobody likes him, but deep inside is miserable at how he never fits in.

Good night, Seattle.
