For the past year or so, I've been bedeviled on this site by a troll named MisterGuy. He has, unprovoked, said the meanest, most vicious, hurtful, and hateful things. He's earned the contempt of many on this site. Seeing his enemies and finding a pattern, I finally figured out the chink in is armor.
Imagine a home where a kid comes to the breakfast table, and instantly, both parents, unprovoked, viciously attack his chosen clothing that morning, then say vicious things about his personality, looks, and I.Q. Imagine this abuse goes on for years.
Some who went through this kind of abuse became orators, and we know their names because of their deeds-Hitler, Stalin, Vlad the Impaler, etc.
Those who didn't become orators, let me tell you what happens to them.
My father was just like MisterGuy-he never had a kind word for anyone, ever. Lucky for me, he left my life when I was six. I tried to get to know him when I was 18.
It was the late 1970's and the CB radio craze was going on. We were in his car. He switched on his radio and there was a busy frequency going-not unlike a crowded chat room on the net. Dad signed on with his handle. Inside of thirty seconds, the frequency went silent. Dad was actually confused by this. He said "I know where they hang out". We drove to a parking lot. As we drove in, people were deserting that parking lot like they were being shot at.
At his funeral five years later, it was worse. Of his eight children, only five showed up, and only one one of his kids had been talking to him. The rest of us went because we were decent people. Note that of his seven grandchildren, none of them were there because the kids didn't deserve his acid tipped tongue-he had known none of his grandchildren. Besides the five of us, the only other attendee was a prostitute who had occasionally stayed with him.
So, go ahead and run your mouth MisterGuy. Be mindful that all the hatred you put out in the world comes back to you-tenfold. Note how it worked out for Hitler, Stalin, Vlad, and the others.
In a more Christian way, and because I am a churchgoer, I beg plead, and implore you to get help. If you can't afford the 300 per hour that a shrink charges, go to a church and ask about their counseling services. In most churches, it's free.
Just remember though, they can't help you unless you admit that you have a problem. Of course, you'll probably come back with some acidic comeback to this, but you'll only be proving my point.
Get some help, PLEASE !!
"For the past year or so"
I don't think it's been that long, and for a "tough guy" like you Dudster...I would think that some albeit harsh critiques of your obvious misstatements would be easy to take...but oh well...
"I finally figured out the chink in is armor."
This ought to be good...lol...
"Imagine a home where a kid comes to the breakfast table, and instantly, both parents, unprovoked, viciously attack his chosen clothing that morning, then say vicious things about his personality, looks, and I.Q. Imagine this abuse goes on for years."
I'm sorry to hear that's apparently what happened at your house Dudster. Both my parents love me...then & now.
"Hitler, Stalin, Vlad the Impaler, etc."
Wow, now I'm Hitler and Stalin...sorry, you've been attending too many Tea Party rallies Dudster...
"In a more Christian way, and because I am a churchgoer, I beg plead, and implore you to get help."
So do I Dudster, try reading a history book sometime...you've got a lot to learn my very ignorant friend.
Do yourself a favor Dudster, and watch more Starblazers. There a lot of episodes posted on YouTube...that should cheer you up...
