no because they're not running around telling everyone
they should use their real names and going on diatribe
after diatribe about about how pseudonyms are so bad,
telling ppl how they should live and riding around
high horses and looking down on others for everything
from their sense of humor to their politik.

heather said i have the blood of iraqi and palestinian
kids on my hands. i disagreed. she said i should be
doing something more. i've done what i feel i can.
erik has said i should get off my couch. neither of
them have babbled on and on about it like a windup
toy. neither of them have annoyed me.

dave, try reading instead of jumping to conclusions. i
never said there was no point in doing -anything-. i
said protesting in the -u$- would have no impact on
the decision that has been made. and  given bush's
speech tonight i was right.

i have spoken to friends. why did i not mention it?
why should i? is it a contest to see who makes the
biggest impact? that is all i can do. 

> This proves that you  _do_  want respect. 

no dave it does not. it proves that you go on and on
and on and i'm sick of you acting like i don't know
war is bad and basically trying to insinuate that i'm
helping the state by not protesting. so i joined in
your little pissing contest and it seems you're still
pissing farther. big deal. i don't care.

some more than others obviously.

because i felt like it. but if you want to go to sleep
thinking it's because i need your respect then go
ahead and feel that way if it gives you a cheap sense
of victory.

good for them. you forgot to mention carp and his
comments on my 'homophobic' language. i do not care. 

> pointing out that there are  _some_  things
> we agree on.

i'm sure she's thrilled.

honestly dave, this back and forth with you tires me.
please do not respond on this topic to me anymore. to
me it's a dead issue. i don't care what you think and
if by some chance i ever change my mind i'll ask you.
