not, but ya know, yer' just a fucking bully!  -plain and simple.  You pick
fights and then tell people to go to hell when they defend themselves.
Stop using this list as your personal therapy session, K?  I for one, don't
want to read it, -or I suppose I could go through the trouble of filtering
you or unsubscribing, because you won't take responsibility for your
actions.   
  -anyway, -just my thoughts of course.
