goes, if you couldn't see through that, oh well. Have fun at
Disneyland.]<<<<<

>>>>>[So what's with you today, feeling so down that you have to rip on
children? Hm, perhaps that was the wrong term. Sorry, DOA, I'm more used
to runners looking as grown up as they really are...]<<<<<

Or did you forget the latest Mind Probe? I would have thought such memories
as those would have made an impression, once released.]<<<<<

<<<<<[First of all, check back in your logs. I was the first one to 'see
through it', if I remember. Second, JUST because you also had friends die
doesn't give you the right to take it lightly when my friends died, nor
does it give you the right to make me feel any worse about what happened.
The way I see it, I might be the kid, but you're the immature one. Why do
you have to keep attacking me like that? The joke was in bad taste. It
followed the deaths too closely. It was obvious. I don't have anything
against Highlander (obviously) but the joke was not a joke. But, we've
covered that. All of us. And I really don't see where you can get off
intentionally hurting people, when you get all sensitive about a hunting
trip that had NOTHING to do with you. People hunt, you know. You didn't
have to blast Brandywine for doing something that comes naturally to her
(and doesn't hurt anyone). If you've got a problem, deal with it. But
we've all been something we didn't want to be. And don't even talk to me
about being MADE into something you had no choice over by painful
experiments. We don't even need to get into that one. Accept what you
are, make use of the good stuff, and deal with the rest. Don't leave it
to everyone else to deal with what you are. That's totally up to you.
If this sounds too Polyanna, well, I'm no innocent. I'm not just
quoting the Sunday Primer, here. You hit a big, bad nerve, Morrison. I
would like to drop it. Are you going to allow that to be a
possibility?]>>>>>
