They will go on and on and on. I wonder if he would stop if I got hit by a truck. I doubt it. He seems too invested in it.
As I am someone who takes your side of the "whose ox was gored first question" you should take my word on this - if you really don't care what is posted on his site then you have no reason to get excited about what is posted here. The SF stuff is not particularly nasty or insulting and is given no credence by anybody. It is just the pontificating of one guy. You magnify it tenfold by responding. If you had no knowledge of your featured role on his site, I am pretty sure you would consider his presence here no more annoying than that of the dime-a-dozen trolls that pop up from time to time.

I suppose that is true.

I didn't say I didn't care about what goes on at his site. I don't care overly much, but any rational person cares about being the focal point of so much irrational hatred and vitriol. Who, after all, would choose that for its own sake?

I just recognize that there is absolutely nothing I can do about that site. It's his "revenge" project (and, to be fair, vanity project as well) and he is willing to spend a lot of money on it and keep it going forever so long as his menagerie off trolls keeps flinging their feces in the correct direction.

However, Carl really does not need to snipe at me here all the time. That is the difference between him and the other dime-a-dozen trolls. He is on my case virtually every day, several times a day. I suppose he does it because he knows that I am here and not there. But that is the heart of the dynamic at work here. One can snipe and gossip behind someone's back and never get any pushback. Deliberately say it so as to be overheard, and one risks being confronted with a tart reply.

Bunny, I've seen closeups of various clothes that you own, but never the whole nor of you in them.

This is one of the reasons that I often might file your posts under the heading, "Sometimes interesting, oft pedantic or cryptic, and on occasion lengthy meanderings."

I'm guilty of these sins occasionally myself, and you are not alone in having a lopsided ratio of i-opinion to evidence of personal elegance achieved. As a spectator to your feud, however, I cut manton a lot more slack because he explicates his style in a more generous way that helps to put his opinions in useful context.

If it makes you feel better Manton, I went to his site and couldn't find where he was talking about you...

1) He talks about me a lot, here and there, but never by name. If you know anything about his obsessions, and past forum controversies, the references are easy to spot.

2) His site's members talk about me 24/7. But they use cute little pet names, like "Lurch" and "Manson."

Does this have anything to do with Artisan Fan? If so, I want in. If not, I'm going to go back to googling "Cat Deeley" + nude, because she's something else.

Great legs and hair but small chest. Don't know anything about Cat Deeley though.

Well if you're not attracted to her, that's fine since Cary Grant was gay.
