Hoffy & Pat and your other toadies have gone, and even the village
idiot seems to have abandoned his silly ways, so you are very much on
your own these days John Boy.
Just for clarification sake, since the group list of roles that I
requested a month ago seems to still be under construction, who was the
village idiot?
Not that I share the view, but I would have thought you to have a
revolving athlete/idiot definition of one of our "regulars".
Some people have a lot of pent-up hatred; they often have a personal
vendetta against almost everyone in the newgroup, as well as many who
have left the newsgroup to get away from them. Stick around and read;
those folks will reveal who they are.
I think "hatred" is a very emotive word to use John, given that this
is mostly an anonymous virtual environment where events do not
normally intrude into real life.
What you are trying to say in an unusually emotional way, is that you
particularly, together with some of the former cronies you recruited
to assist you, underestimated the opposition and ended up biting off
more than you could chew.
That you are now isolated and have chosen semi-retired reclusiveness
over active participation, is proof that you are incapable of
operating without back-up, and that your long-term dominance here has
been over for some considerable time.
That you are vexed and resentful about the status quo is perhaps
understandable, but given that you were always the protagonist and
ruled the roost here to the discomfort of the many unfortunates to
whom you directed your bile and venom, it is perhaps a fitting end for
committed obsessive newsgroup bully.
In this particular situation Mr Williams, any "pent-up hatred" is
entirely the emotion of the vanquished (which really is just you now);
it would be in your best interests to move on and forget the events of
the past, for your own peace of mind.
