Peace Treaty?

Dangleberry is the principal provocateur. He has
been for years. Most readers ignore his posts. The only
responses (for the most part) he does get come from his
incessant taunts. So I guess we've helped train him that way,
over the years. I think I met him once. Can't remember
where, but I do have a mind's eye picture of a pudgy, vertically
challenged nerd with the physical presence of an overfed
pet mouse.

When he sits behind a keyboard, however, where there is no
chance of meaningful consequence, a metamorphosis
takes place. Like a marvel comics hero, Dangleberry instantly
becomes a tough guy. Like the horny, stumbling, love-lorn spiderman,
Dangleberry changes his cameleon colors. Years of frustration--
probably dating all the way back to primary school--transform
into a sadistically comic warrior--a sawed off
Barney Fife becomes Russell Crowe in the Colosseum.

I realize I'm not contributing to the peace process
by saying this. But this soap opera has been going on for so long now
I do think it's a hopeless cause anyway.

Dangleberry: perhaps we'll meet again someday.
Could be some real fun then.
