I have agreed and disagreed with you on issues at the CF and have tried to remain neutral here but your redundancy on this subject is wearing thin. Let it go. Just this old man's opinion.

I go through occasional periods where I lose interest in posting, but I still show up and read through a few threads I find interesting on a daily basis.

DJ, I get PMs, emails, texts, and even phone calls from people telling me to drop dead. Remember, that's the way they feel. Think about the time a sick person needs to troll any forum. I'm retired and don't have time to waste my hate on anyone. You dislike and are jealous of me, and you want to "harass" me? Go for it

Here is a funny email I get daily with different email accounts

How are you doing today My name is Carolyn Price from Waycross Ga I live alone in a house with fence and yard I work from home I'm deaf cant call TEXT ME ‪(304) 395-6798 hope to hear back from you soon

Sure, and I'm the King of Europe

Is that a yes? Maybe it will help open your eyes when you see it in real time like Anj has. Wait, you're another troll apologist because you like the troll more, aren't you?

If you actually believe that, that is the saddest thing I will read all day.

A 55-year-old child who would be homeless if it weren't for sponging on someone with a job has convinced himself that he is the next Jack Kerouac.

My guess is without google he has no clue who the beatnick of whom you speak of is.

I guess they didn't teach that in "farting around on my little black box all day" journalism school.

That sounds incredibly fulfilling. Have you ever used the Tor browser? You can find all kinds of content on the dark web. I’ve got a line on a WWII German Tiger tank for my trips into Minneapolis.

It's just becoming sad. You go back and read his last twenty posts, like Giraffe compiled, and it's quite obvious he needs professional help.

He's shacking up, mooching off of some poor woman who clearly has issues of her own and he's suddenly convinced himself that he's got everything together and he's sitting on top of the world. That's some industrial level delusion going on right there.

What he needs is a job and a mortgage and a wife and a puppy...

[INB4 he tells us how wonderful it is to be a low nut guy in used loafers and used car and shacked up in the slums of Orlando]

I guess he could sign up to be a sparring partner (punching bag) at the local boxing gym.

A job is too demanding, a wife would chop his dick off, and a puppy? No. HELL no. The absolute last thing this guy needs is a puppy. He can’t even take care of himself.

It's like listening to a bum sleeping on a park bench extolling the virtues of having no responsibilities and describing the freedom of being able to dumpster dive around town. It's downright sad. It sounds like his brother has his act together, maybe he could get him some professional help.
