I have sat and read these conversations for weeks now without offering any
messages of my own.  True, I did not understand a lot of what has been
discussed, but what I did understand was ridiculous name calling.  Is this
all you people ever do is exchange hate-filled messages that expose
yourselves as insecure, pretentious creeps who are afraid that the person
next to you will be seen as more of an artist than yourself- stop insulting
each other and everyone else and start working on your art.  I'm getting all
of you out of my computer now.
