You know, Chris, I thought about this for some time.

I don't like you.

I really don't. I thought I could leave it at trolling you. But I realized there was nothing you said or did that made me WANT to see you as anything but the horrible human being you insisted on being.

You threatened me with the Great White Rage of the Angry White Machine. They would CRUSH me you said. Decent people don’t do that, Chris. And there is no THEY, Chris. That's all you.

I don't care about all that pompous and misplaced self-importance. I don't care you have to be the Center of All Things Decent - on the outside, anyway. I don't even care that you're a hypocrite.

I went through all of your messages - slowly. And what I care about was that there was not one thing of redeemable value about you. Not one. Nothing that made me even want to try and meet you anywhere here.

Normally, a troll is a troll. But that’s not you — you see yourself as having something to offer. And I just don’t.

Whatever that makes me, that makes me - irrational ad hominem dodger for the win it is, then. What comforts me here, though, is that beyond any scurrilous indictment you can throw, people like you will be extinct soon.

It is when people like you finally die off that beautiful things will finally grow freely.

Feel free to respond. I won’t be back. I’m done with you.

And that feels good.

Best, Chris.
