Bummer. Cest le vie.

I vehemently disagree with this statement. You are a jerk to all the left-of-center folks here. You held out a little while with me initially, but I feel the disdain you hurl toward all of us is pretty shocking considering we are all Rice grads and might some day hypothetically meet at a football tailgate or something.

Maybe you just aren't self-aware of your attitude toward us on here? In 100% honesty, when I am being a jerk toward you, OO, or 69/70/75, I am trying to mirror the attitude each of you have toward each of us. It is a little different for each of you (69/70/75 tends to have more race/sex overtones (sorry man, but you do and I have pointed it out quite a few times), you are just kind of a jerk who talks down to others and slings invectives around).

I try really hard not to do this with Ham and George because other than George's war with At Ease (I think) that I don't understand and is rooted in something that happened between them in the past, they are way more kind and thoughtful than the other 3 of you. Just speaking my truth.
