I still think this is all pretty funny, but for several reasons.
1) I've probably posted around 5 meg on the subjects presented in the TCM
over the past year, so 12K hardly seems large. Especially when I'll be able
to refer people to this for my opinion instead of dumping another 5 meg
every year on the same tired old subjects.
2) That you would get so incredibly offended by something of noble purpose.
I think there's a self-esteem problem out there, or you are really
threatened by me in some way as yet unnamed.
3) The TCM is nowhere near what Jehova's Witnesses put people through. You
can throw away what I send, but you can't dump a pack of them in a dumpster
and expect to get away with it.
4) My way is my way and it'll always be such. Just as your way is your way.
I don't flaunt it, I express it. If it scares you, then that's your deal,
you're the one with the problem. I expressed my views so they could be
known, not so they could be followed. You still haven't presented a decent
reason why this is so heinous. Or even a not-so-decent reason. I know what
I did is a good idea and I hope others follow it so we can keep repeat
topics off the list and in the archives where they belong.
5) You didn't even take the time to read it and denounced it. Is ignorance
REALLY bliss?
