That was a pretty darn arrogant and angry post. I think it had merit and substance, but I could see both the upturned nose and an angry haughty stare as I read the words.
Tom pisses me off to no end, but he exhibits no more or no fewer personality 'quirks' for his being here than I exhibit by being here. Not that we're all human: but we're all Zoners. I think just about all of us are quirky people, even if we only let those quirks out online. This is an 'unusual' place, and perhaps it makes good company for 'unusual' sorts of folks. You have to enjoy the bizarre forms of interaction here to come here, and yeah, just as the b****inator annoys the hell out of me, I enjoy the endless pursuit of the impossible: getting him to see a point made.
In other words, Robert: You are every bit as batshit crazy as Tom, just in different ways. Perhaps one of those ways is taking this stuff too seriously. Mix a 'Boat Drink' and chill. Theres nothing wrong with Tom that isn't wrong with you, or me, or whatever- just to different degrees and in different ways.
