You're nothing but a bully. And the people that jump on your bandwagon are as well. This is really unacceptable behavior. I guess if you had a conscience, this might bother you, but bullies have no conscience.
I forgot - most of us are just drawn that way, except for MsJudi - she really is bad.
And, speaking only for myself, I don't suffer fools well.
May you have a blessed and enlightening day.  |
