I respond to your stuff because I have a hero complex. Every time I read one of your famous logic-challenged, context-ignoring posts, I think to myself, "It could be me. I could be the one, after all these years, to be able to make a logical connection with Rut, to rescue him from his seemingly chronic tendency to fall into the vicious traps of the strawman and the non sequitor; I could be the one to finally convince him that his experiences are not universal, and that he must thus learn to use 'qualifiers' in his writing, to indicate pre- rather than post-mayhem that that is only his own, particular, limited experience."

Also I like pain.
Are you still here?

Peace
