R, there are any number of posters here whose behavior is abhorrent.
Sometimes mine is, but there are far worse than either slammer or me. As
examples, I offer up your buddy Florida Jim, and Loogy, and Reggie, and D
K, and a few of the other dirtbags who live in my bozo bin.

But JustHate is really a special case. Not a day goes by without him
castigating someone here for what he perceives as lapses in their behavior
or morality. That's the height of irony, and is why I haven't bozo-binned
him. He's so far over the edge, he's hilarious.

I still maintain the only reason certain posters behave as they do here is
because they are hiding behind the cloak of anonymity. Once Reggie is
"outed," he will either disappear, behave, or come up with an entirely
different handle. The same is true of your Florida buddy. These guys are
living in fear that someone here will stop by their residence and punch
them in the nose.


We all have our moments, some more than others. But a few, including
slammer IMO, are a bit too far over the edge. "slammer" has indicated he
has some personal problems which may account for the huge chip on his
shoulder. I sincerely hope they work themselves out for him. Maybe it
will refresh his outlook on life.

Until recently there used to be another person in here who, although
different in personality, exhibited similar evidence of a troubled life. If
current, speculative suspicions are true, his recent actions are not
surprising.


Back in the day, I had a long discussion with the infamous Gharlane of
Eddore about this. The gist of the discussion was that he controlled
who knew who he really was rather than just putting it out there for
the world to see.

Up until the day he died, maybe 15 people on Usenet knew who he was in
real life.

It surprized a lot of people when it was finally outed.
