So what?
Feelings aren't reason.  =Both= are useful.

My 'feelings' have nothing to do with it.
You sire kids, you father 'em, physically and fiscally.
Otherwise you are a pain in the economic ass, among
other things.

Here's one: fuck you if you think I owe you an 'offering' of any kind.
Go get what you need but don't imagine you can impose or blame to good
effect in any way shape or form.

I don't need an out.  You need something to say besides
"I should knock women up and only everyone else should deal with it."
and "All you do is [blather].".

Yeah.

So what?

I don't know if much of anything strikes you as it should.

>Perhaps you're there and you don't know it.

So you're gonna tell me all about it, huh?

Go ahead and fantasize that I writhe in 
obsequious gratitude at the foot of your
cyberpedestal for your insight.

In real life, just try to quit being such
an asshole.

for "contributions to anything" it would be nil.)

So what: it's immaterial.

How about making them repeatedly?

Read up and get back to me.

That you so quickly and ignorantly disparaged something
directly and accurately commenting on the findings of
doctoral-level investigators shows me that you are
not here to actually discuss the topic.

No.

Congratulations.  That's one.

Generalization is fallacy, too.

She posts to rom regularly.

You suspect I should care about your problems?

Fucking idiot: quit reading me if you don't like me.
Get someone who knows how to show you the way to ask
a computer nicely to killfile me.  Have em read and
explain the big words to you while they're at it.

>  Why
>don't you count the number of times in a day you refer to your or
>someone else's intelligence? 

There's once.  You?  At least two so far.

I defer to your superior tendency to refer to intelligence,
especially in namecalling mode.

> You've got too much time on your hands. 

Speak for yourself.  You know nothing about me, nor does it matter.

>Get out of the house and do something worthwhile with your life.

Speak for yourself.  You know nothing about me, nor does it matter.

>> > Can you simply
>> >say what you mean
>> Yep.
>You haven't gotten past taking to impress.  Try communicating.

Why don't you communicate to me what "taking to impress" might mean.

"Giving to impress" might still not have meant anything, regardless
of accuracy.

>> > and not resort to saying things that no one else 
>> Do you speak for everyone else?  How is that?
>Gee, I don't recall saying I communicate for anyone other than myself. 

Perhaps you don't do that very well either.

>But at least I do that much.

So you claim.
Specify.

I don't give a shit, for starters ...

Congratulations.  That's two.

That's your problem.

Say something about someone from whom you've learned, and
what it may have been, or even shut the fuck up; either
would be more productive for you.

So fucking what?

You're confusing your provider (ISP) for 'usenet'.  You should not
wander here in such a helpless state.  (I'm such a nice person.)

[Whoops!  So sorry that hokker of tobacco juice fell on your shoe.]

So what: it's immaterial.

No, I have tobacco juice, dimwit.

All the echo mourns your noted departure.
