Excuse me, I'm replying at my leisure. Acutally, I've been rather busy
lately. After first reading this recent onslaught of rubbish, I was a bit
aggravated, but I've since realized that I am much too mature and apathetic
to get involved in a pathetic flame-war with you. It would be foolish to
do so. The resulting farce would only irritate us all. Then, for the next
couple weeks, the other readers must tolerate trashing multiple subject
headers like "kristee sux!" and rolling their eyes in annoyance or else
participating in the fiasco until it finally grows stale enough to abandon.
A wholly unproductive event. This way, the readers will be happy and CoV
will be a much more hospitable place.

See, when others on the list, such as Bill, Tim, or 'FallAwake' write to
me, I take pleasure in typing a full and well thought-out reply because
they deserve one. However, why should I bother to sit here for an
eternity, get upset and muster enough creative energy to keep insulting you
in return? Should I respond to a hypocritical person who makes laughable
attempts at psychoanalyzing me "in a nutshell" to gloss over their blatant
racist remarks which generalize and condemn entire foreign cultures, in
order to make amends with their ego? On second thought, I think you're
right about pointing the finger at another's flaws in order to escape blame
for your own behavior...as in, "If I prove that she is a simple-minded
twit, no one (including myself) will seriously believe that I'm wrong." It
puzzles me when complete strangers, fancying themselves the over-confident
dectective, tell me outright my 'true, evil nature' which after careful
consideration, they have extracted from the profound depths of an email.
(deja vu!) So, should I try to VALIDATE MYSELF to someone who knows
*nothing* about me?
Would that make much sense? I think not. I mean, that's not
communication, that's petty nonsense which is beneath me.

The fact that you spent two hours trying to unearth evidence as to what an
awful person I am using only a virus post, and that you were so upset that
it took you months to reply to me is ridiculous. And so I've decided to
throw a bucket of ice water on the flame you've ignited once again.
Instead of writing a line-by-line rebuttal to your post, I chose to 'rise
above' and refrain from any cheap shots or bitter name-calling. Maybe I'm
getting too introspective, but I'm going to halt this here card game and
exclaim, "Bullshit!" Basically, I think you're making a fool of yourself
and the defense should have rested indefinitely. Also, my advice is that
if you are planning on typing a long document, you should close it and save
it every other paragraph or so, as I do, and prevent losing all your work.
Hope that helps.

I'm a bit confused about your mention of the television sitcoms; my
knowledge of '90210' and 'Melrose Pl.' proves to be painfully inadequate
since I never watch television, including those shows. Maybe you should
lay off the boob tube a little. As for visiting LA, well I'd rather go to
Prague actually.
