Jim;

Thanks for the memories and superb entertainment. It was just like old times reading this thread. The Jim Porter that I know and love was up to his old form. No change here that I can see.

Some obersvations:

1. You argued long and hard with Warren about balance and unbalanced BS. The balance that you need to concern yourself with is REBALANCE, as in "see your shrink about a rebalance in your meds."

2. If the Internet message boards are the only place in your life that you can not maintain your sanity, then why are you here? Only a masochist would continually and deliberately place himself in harm's way when there are so many other things to do with your life. Masochism may be another subject that you want to take up with your shrink, which leads to point 3.

3. You say that you have a hard time believing that the Internet is the only place where you have these problems. Well I have a problem in believing that is true. You have clearly demonstrated that you are not in contact with reality when you stated in this thread that you had not flamed anyone in two years. After you were proved wrong, you proceeded to get into a monster pi$$ing contest with all manner of posters. If it wasn't a flame war, I don't know what is.

4. I don't believe that you "lied" about any of this for a lie presupposes that the author knows that the statement that he is making is untrue. I believe that your illness has progressed to such a state that you can no longer tell reality from fiction. Hence your statement, that the Internet is the only place where this sort of thing happens, is highly suspect. I strongly believe that this problem carries over to other aspects of your life. Just like your statement about peace on the Internet for two years being fiction, you are unaware of the chaos in your life.

Get back to your psychiatrist. He could probably write a disertation on your illness. I doubt it would be as entertaining as watching the real thing in action, however.

Thanks again for the laughs,

Peter
