Ugh. You want to see some serious shit-tossing? Go check out aa today.
Bob&carole have been blasting the atheists and sending them to ASBL for
fun - disrupting both froups. If you have popcorn on hand, I suggest
you break it out. It's like watching a fucking train wreck. o_O

LOL, I only mentioned the whole "obsession" thing because, well, at one
time, I pretty much said exactly the same things you did. And I WAS a
lil obsessed. He REALLY pissed me off. And I was newb enough to take it
all personally and I had a maj0r meltdown.
*blush*

You DID seem to be uber pissed at him - when *I* was pissed, it was
because he was just being his ol arrogant self. And I took it
personally. Since then, mainly BECAUSE of him, I've developed quite a
thicker skin. And I do have that, amongst other things, to thank him
for. : )

As for Hat xposting, well, that's kinda how we know him. : )
If he weren't xposting, I think most of us would figure that he'd
passed away. LOL

But FTR, there ARE a lot of people that really and truly look forward
to his posts. And yes, I'm one of them. Call me a "Hatter addict" if
you like - I've certainly been called worse, LOL. But I like him and
consider him a friend . . . albeit a "chaotic neutral" one - to steal
a phrase from D&D. : )

Well, again, you sounded a lot like I did when I butted heads with Hat
.. . . and thinking back on it, I am REALLY surprised that I didn't win
a CotM award for it. : )

Really, I was P-I-S-S-E-D. And I took it personally. But then, I
watched him blast someone else, realized that it twas all in fun, and
stopped being so easily irritated - though I DO still have my moments.
: )
