Well, that's not ENTIRELY true. To be accurate, you would have had to say
he attacks the person HE THINKS made him look stupid.

If he attacked the person who actually makes him look stupid, he'd be
hitting himself a lot.

I've tried that - it works consistently at home on a PC and
sporadically at work on a MAC. Bizarre. It always "appears" to work,
though. But then the post shows up without quotes.

Easy, skippy. It's a computer problem, not a cognitive one.

You, on the other hand, consistently fail to respond to any posts which
definitively show you to be wrong. I can't tell if it's because you're
not too bright, or just a twat.

Perhaps a combination of the two?

What do you do for a living, Sean? Anything tricky?

Perhaps that's why it's groups-beta.google.com instead of
groups.google.com :)

Sorry, Sean, I realize it wasn't really a fair fight. I should have
left you alone. One day you'll learn.

Here a hint at what I was getting at:

Dopy posts a short novel explaining in detail how he really isn't a
moron and a bunch of other stuff that I dozed off while reading.

He ends it with an accusation that I don't respond to direct questions
and then asks the stupid question of: Do I respond to direct
questions?

So, I actually respond to his direct question by saying that I don't
respond to direct questions. I do it with a one word answer after
fully quoting his manifesto about how he's not a moron.

Sense any irony there?

It has the desired affect as dolt-boy then posts a very defensive
"I'll just ignore the bitch slapping I just got and declare victory"
post.

You just keep telling yourself that, Sean. Remember: everybody loves
you here. Also remember: you're the well known troll. I'm not.

Sniff, sniff, sniff.... excuse me while I wipe away my tears.

You really hurt my feelings.

I thought everyone here loved me.

Why would I pay any attention to live actual human beings in my life
when I have all of you in this NG? Now that I know you all don't love
me my life will never be the same.

On the bright side tho, Mr. Jackoffication has now slunk back into his
hole.

That'll teach him to play with adults. Farewell douchebag.

I'm feeling the love here, Sean. Odd how you would think, after just
a day, that I've "slunk" back into anything. You often disappear for a
lot longer. Deeper hole, perhaps?

Over and out.
