And another thing...

that "ample self" remark... why, really? first off, we're on the stinkin internet, everyone's the same size. I get a really strong whiff of self-deprecation there. No, it's stronger. Self-debasement. Why? I didn't call you fat. I've never seen you. Granted, we did have a little.. difference about the mom/dad thing. Hardly rises the the level of conflict, nevermind an argument. But I wasn't insulting. When I say you look nice today, don't reply "I look fat!" Ok?

Whether I think so or not is really my business, and if I'm having such a bad day that I need to insult your appearance, you'll know it. There'll be no need to put words in my mouth. But in the meantime, can we leave the insults out? The whole starting a fight by hitting yourself, I hate that. [/rant]

Of course it's not about you, Cloud. I guess it's just time to switch to decaf. Maybe get that particular button disconnected. Sorry, didn't mean to hassle you.
