what a delightful scenario, Reg! just lovely, yes.

so some think me daft, i care not a fig. have you the courage to stare directly into the flaming eye of God?!?!?!? alright then. don't knock it til you've overtried it.

and i don't mean to come off as paranoid, but clearly you're all out to get me. again, i worry not, for i have shinguards and kneepads to deal with those of you who are genetically slated to perpetually hit below the belt.

i must say, however, that i'm not convinced that missyrichardson is an alias. in any event, once db teed off on her, it certainly was open season, wasn't it? we ran that bitch outta town on a rail! in fact, some of us hit her with all we had!

i can't say it was my proudest moment here. we hadn't yet even divined the full extent of her philosophical differential, but we wound up and let fly real hard anyway. now, maybe some of us wanted to scare her off good and quick, but i for one find it a lot slower here without a few agitators in the mix, and i'm not sure some of the representatives of the left here came off as terribly civilized or open-minded. trenches were quickly dug and burning arrows shot unto the breach, but she may eventually have had a reasonable thing or two to say (think Green Mountain, whose initial posts showed him to be on the other side of the Jesus debate yet later showed him right at home in our beloved populist/Constitutionalist arena, etc). sure, she posted some fairly asinine (to us) stuff later, but i'm just not sure she deserved the flamethrower choir that greeted her so immediately. oh well, i suppose we can still bully Pat. just a thought.
