- So you can hurt me and ridicule me, Mara. What a revelation.
-
- Somehow, reading that quote out of context it doesn't say what I wanted it
- to say. It would have been nice of you to ascribe enough humanity to me
- to ask for a clarification. Fine, you've got me, I'm down and deserve to
- be beaten for failing to communicate, and for stumbling over my ideas badly.
-
- Bonus points to you for making me feel like such an idiot as to try and
- reply seriously to you in mail. Please, upon receiving that email
- feel free to use it to finish me off. At this point it's a mercy killing.
-
- What I might have really meant by any of this doesn't seem important any more.
