I have to ask - why do you insist on going up to pg's front door and shouting your dislike of him through his letterbox? If you really find him that scary, wouldn't it be much more sensible to run like hell and shout your abuse from a good safe distance down the street?

I have to ask, why do you see every dissenting opinion on a forum where people voice their opinions to be a personal attack on Mr. Graham? I mean, if 1,000 forum members all agree with everything, well then that would make 999 of them redundant, which would leave you with a baseless forum, wouldn't it?

Deliberate misrepresentation of parent post (DMPP) count: 1

> I mean, if 1,000 forum members all agree with everything, well then that would make 999 of them redundant, which would leave you with a baseless forum, wouldn't it?

Baseless personal assertion (BPA) count: 1

> Are you his wife/girlfriend/secret admirer or something?

Gratuitous insult (GI) count: 1. BPA: 1.

> Honestly I was joking when I put up the Y-Combinator/Cult post,

Sudden volte-face (SVF) count: 1.

> but judging on some of the replies, Paul's own direct attack on my very sanity itself (as if to imply that he's the very essence of reason itself and all disagreement is a sign of insanity or something)

(honorary) DMPP: 1. Rampant paranoia (RP) count: 1

> and the wild gyrations in my karma points

RP: 1

> are starting to make me consider that perhaps my joke actually may not be that much of a joke after all. Look at your response ... "Leave our beloved leader alone!" ...

DMPP: 1

>Seriously how old are you?

GI: 1

> If you answer over 20, well seriously go join the peace corps, get out in the world ...

GI: 1. BPA: 1

> there are many more important things to do than hero-worshipping William F. Buckley wannabes ...

BPA: 1. GI: 2 (a double-hit combo).

Total: DMPP: 3; BPA: 4; GI: 5; SVF: 1; RP: 2

for an overall credibility bonus of: -15.

As usual, the numbers speak for themselves.

I was seriously considering getting some kratom ... but I refuse to do business with those who make such comments. Good day to you, sir!

:) Like you, I don't mean everything I say on the internet. Send me an email if you're interested, I'll give you a discount to make it up to you.

You'll pay me to sample your krypto-krato and write a culinary review to all my hippie friends? Hmmmm ... sounds tempting .... How much do you offer?
