You hit a good point Doug. Sometimes the best way to get rid of someone is

That's a brilliant idea! I'm starting work on my "loan money
to" list for this Monday! This will save me a lot of
productive time, especially if they also avoid calling me on
the phone. Bob do I owe you a retainer?

Some people have personality disorders. They can't change, they can't help
it. They just don't get it. They may act as assholes, but for them it is not
a matter of choice. They have mental problems. Just go to the other side of
the street when you see them coming.


That may be true, but the cost to society is still high. I
want a new social contract, one that includes the right to
smack disordered people for varying social offenses. Of
course, in many parts of the country you can still do that.
