Oh, get real. I have to deal with a nagging incredulity that you aren't recognized as the misanthropic sociopath you rather transparently seem to be.

You "pseudo-apologized," Wrong again, boy-o. When one says one is sorry, there's nothing "pseudo" about it. One apologizes or one doesn't. while nullifying the > sentiment elsewhere in the same post by expressing phony "surprise" > that I denied your charges (because, after all, your source appeared > to be so credible.) Nothing phony about it. When multiple people over the course of many years describe the same types of pathology, they start to seem credible. Sorry you alienated so many of your confidantes, but that's not my fault. Not to mention childishly calling me an asshole > within the same sentence as the apology. My duty to apologize to you in no way made you less of an asshole. Hell, it would've been disingenuous for me to act like I cared about you at all.

Right, while you stay totally above board and don't elevate the tension with any smears of your own. Talk about phony. You really don't deserve membership on this list anymore. That's just stupid. Cliche alert, but what is this list about? A subject I discuss with far greater frequency than you.

"I'm sorry for claiming you had restraining orders filed against you -- it's just that all my totally unsubstantiated 'multiple sources' seemed so consistent and credible." It's utter bullshit. You're carefully leaving the seed planted. I'm about two inches away from unsubscribing, frankly. I do not find it at all acceptable that the list tolerates your hysterical, lowballing attacks.

Whew! Vendor Lock-In and Poor Inter-operability! All for just under SIX HUNDRED BUCKS! I'm fucking sold. A new age has dawned for the masses. Stuffing my iPod (which has old firmware since you can't update without iTunes anymore and Apple Service refuses to format it FAT even though it's way more versatile than having HPFS -- considering just installing some non-Apple firmware and being done with it) and Samsung A960 into my jacket pocket... As much as I like some of the innovation Apple is doing, I don't think they'd be hurting their sales any if they quietly supported open formats and left reasonable options for people who don't/won't/can't run iTunes. I think we might be looking back at some of the choices Apple is making right now with the same kind of smiling head-shaking that we use when looking at Apple Corps' agreement to let Apple (Computer) work in the music industry just so long as they don't sell music on physical media.

The solution where you were two inches from unsubscribing held some promise. The problem from my end is that I find things that Eb says to other people offensive. The problem from Eb's end is that he finds my existence offensive. Eb could stop treating people shittily fairly easily, in practical terms. I pretty much refuse to stop existing. The other problem is that Eb basically behaves as if the list is about him, and that makes avoiding his omnipresent surliness a bit of a problem. I dunno why he's here-- by his own admission he barely follows Robyn's music. As far as I can tell, he's just staked out this little corner of the internet as the place where he gets to be Alpha-Nerd, Tin Hitler or what have you. Anything that challenges that kind of petty lameness is a good idea, for Eb as much as the rest of us. Homeboy needs to work out a better way to exorcise his demons. And hell, I think anyone would get a little tired of being consistently, disingenuously referred to as a maniac. Okay, everyone can return to gluing CD's together at midnight now. - -SER ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #5 ******************************
