So, you are a disfunctional asshole.

Strider

The word is "dysfunctional". You have already amply demonstrated what an
asshole is, so I will refrain from further attempts at clarification.

In the probably absolutely vain hope that it might work, allow me to offer
you some advice. I bear you no ill will, and yet you have gone out of your
way to gratuitously annoy and make an enemy of somebody you do not even
know, who lives half a world away, is not interested in your politics, and
has about as much interest in taking humorous jabs at you, apart from the
admittedly minimal entertainment value thereby engendered, as he has in
poking a dead scorpion with a stick.

This is a silly thing to do, does not bode well for a career in politics,
sensible discussion, or even normal human intercourse.

Doubtless a fair contingent of those in the newsgroup to which you actually
subscribe, and more or less all those in the groups you crosspost to, have
come to the meanwhile inevitable conclusion that you are an idiot. This
impression is unlikely to change, unless you cease such pubescent nonsense.

What people may think of you is a matter of complete indifference to me, but
it may not be to you. Furthermore, nobody is going to listen to an obvious
idiot, even on those rare occasions when he might have something sensible to
say.

Lastly, if you adhere blindly to various basis ideologies, or party
politics, regardless of the ideology or party involved, you will never learn
to think for yourself, and this will be immediately obvious to everybody
concerned. Your utterances, and indeed your person, will then be treated
with the contempt they so richly deserve.

You may respond as you please, or not, I will no longer do so. It is simply
not worth the effort involved in holding the stick.
