Tough call. Hm.....probably not as much fun as citizen's arrests,
lawsuits, bludgeons, shootings, beatings, etc. Does that help at all?


Apples and Oranges.

Fruits, if I'm not mistaken.

One can't possibly expect words and cyber substitution to match action in
the real world.

Quite the contrary.....one can expect anything one wishes to. Moreover, a
lot of the "action in the real world" IS words. Or are you telling us that
you somehow managed to convey the notion of "it's not too cozy is it?"
without using actual words despite reporting that you said it? Some sort of
ultra-sophisticated mime, perhaps? And then there's that citizen's arrest
thingy. Without words, something like this could easily be mistaken for a
common kidnapping.

To make a meaningful comparison you would need to compare substitution to
substitution ... i.e. is it as satisfying to post cleverly pointed barbs
that make you seem intellectually impressive ( to me ) or the far more
common pre-teen-like name calling that make you seem, ah ... pre-teen ( to
me)

Abject nonsense. One can make all sorts of meaningful comparisons among any
number of similar or disaparate items. No matter how you slice it, an
elephant is bigger than a Brussels sprout. Grayer, too. Substitute a
tennis ball for the Brussels sprout and a Buick for the elephant and it
quickly becomes clear (well, to some of us anyway) that the latter is larger
than the former while it may or may not be any yellower. How meanigful any
of these comaprisons may be has nothing whatsoever to do with what was
substituted for which. What matters is whether or not the comparison makes
internal sense. In the instant case, you've indicated that you find your
antics with the neighbors highly amusing. So far, this hasn't been a source
of much hilarity for me. Score it however you please.

As for how I seem to you......well, you're a liar.

Of course, your posts must satisfy you, regardless of how they seem to me
... but I really am curious ... mildly






Maybe if I was a Republican I'd "get it" ?

Maybe.



The degradation by association that would come from figuratively "hanging"
with the Roves, Cheneys and BushPuppets would make joining Der Party just
to find this out far too costly. I'll just have to continue to live
clueless on this subject ( there is a big opening there, ... I'm sure you
can see it ;-)
