Great! for a second there I thought I was in trouble.

Well, perhaps the outlook isn't wholly optimistic: it depends on the level
of physiological and psychological damage you've suffered. But never
mind! Just remember that humans evolved in a high-radiation environment!
It made us what we are! And you'll feel much better if you keep firmly in
mind that planets are the unsafest places to live in space! (your problems
are nothing the next asteroid impact can't cure).

Flying Tadpole (poring over all the circular structures discernible in the
South Oz outback, each with their scatter of pretty stones, and checking
real estate around Mt Gambier, which blew up a few years prior to Pompei.
Ah the joys of country life).

So once I've moved out to the country, with its radon and emf radiation
and coliform, my mind will unfog and I'll awaken from this horrid dream?

Scout, sometimes living in a megalopolis can have strange effects on the
mind and understanding and behaviour. Being aware of this, there is much
those of us far from the madding crowd can indeed accept from you. But
please, for your own health and sanity, not to mention those young minds
for whom you are responsible, see your fantasy for what it truly is--Capt
Neal just CAN'T BE Bobsprit!

Well, what if it be my vice,
My pleasure to displease--to love men hate me!


So sad ~ these words!
Preemptive scorn is scorn of self and fear of self-worthlessness!
Why does Captain Neal doubt himself so?



He is not Don
Quixote afterall, he is the Cowardly Lion!

You can do better than that.


How so? The Cowardly Lion is one of the most complex characters in
literature!
William Jennings Bryan was a right-winged, opinionated, blustering
bully. He was smart and talented, but at best, history will remember him
as a tragic hero; the primary cause of his own failure.



He is an invention, a cathartic adventure for some other here whose

monogram


is a paper thin mask of civility.


Explain your use of "monogram". You forgot to read the introduction or
do
you really believe that civility walks hand in hand with "not mincing
words
to spare the thin skinned or ignorant"?


Simply this: CN is very likely a darker personna of some regular poster
here who, having earned the respect of the group, does not feel free to
expose his troglodytic tenets under that same name.
Does *Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* ring a bell?
