I call it the tyranny of the sensitive souls

they will have you twisting yourself into a pretzel to avoid offending their oh so sensitive natures

and if you do offend their sensitive natures they will puke on you, revile you, stomp on you etc etc

why?....because they are sensitive souls of course!

Yes, my wife says of them, "They love humanity, they just hate people."

What's interesting in his writing is how he likes to glorify himself as an enlightened soul spouting the "One Human Family" doctrine that we are ALL equal and good, but then he bashes everyone he disagrees with as being "morons".  Then he talks about how people are a cancer on the planet.

"One Human Family" thing is creepy. Makes it sound like a cult... Brother Nor-Dog, Brother RAT900, would you care to step to the pulpit?

Okay, I couldn't help myself.

I PM'd Chis Capp.  I had some questions based on things I read at his blog.  He replied twice.  The second reply was a post script.

I post it verbatim here under his direction:

"PS. I forwarded the comment about Sonny Barger hawking Japanese blue jeans to Sonny, who I have interviewed and consider a friend. It was probably a mistake, because those guys take disrespecting them to a whole 'nother level, but you may want to warn the poor stupid bastard!"

So, bobspapa, you've been ratted out to the Hells Angels.  Make of it what you will.  Maybe you can help your case if you buy a few pairs of "Self Edge" jeans; I don't know.

(What does Self Edge mean?)

Oh wow. Chris Capp is such a tough guy individualist that he has to try to threaten Joel via a real tough guy? Yeah, Chris. You may consider Sonny a friend after meeting him that one time but I doubt he feels the same. "Chris who?" "Oh the guy in the pink boyfriend beater?"

more to be pitied than censured

just another of God's creatures lost in life's wardrobe room looking for his identity

fractured and fragmented desperate for power rather than relevance

at once, both magnanimous and vindictively petty...incoherent conflicted world view

seeks strength in numbers, marching in line in the uniform that will never really "fix" him

getting older now and more embittered because his uniform and his formula became anachronistic

his iconography of power is dismissed out of hand (removal of head-job avatar)

self-definition only works if it is accomplished in conjunction with self-discovery

toss a prayer his way that he doesn't wake up some morning and see himself for what he really is...or isn't

it is too late for him

G'Day Grown-ups.  One guy's juvenile and disproportional response to a reasonable request is a reminder that rational human stability is a little fragile amongst some of our fellow beings - it would be laughable if it wasnt just a little disturbing.

And those here who have laughed, mocked and pilloried - I understand, I smirk too, but isnt it enough already?  We're in danger of becoming no better than the OP (whom I do not defend for a moment). So how about we show some self-respect, shake our collective heads and just let the guy go to be bitter and twisted without stooping down to his lowly level?

I'm sure bumping this up to the top of the page after no one posting for 24 hours will certainly help let this thread die a quiet death.

I have an opinion.  I voiced it.  You have an opinion and have voiced it also.  You may of course continue to voice it as frequently and often as you wish  .  My point is simply this:  The OP is a 60 year old adult.  If, after having experienced the reactions of others around him for the last six decades, he has not yet realised for himself that he is seen as a dick-head I doubt that he's gonna take your or my word for it either.  However often its repeated.  But do carry on if you wish

Yeah, fair enough.  Only I have two quibbles.  One, this thread has ceased to include that rugged individualist guy, so any discussion here does not include him, let alone directed at him.  Two, while he is 60 years old, he's not an adult.

...but that has always been a goal.

I'm confused.

There's a goal?

OK...

a target.

a target.

Naked?

Naked?

I always strive to get naked targets.
