Jon's panties in a wad

[telebob x]

Mike-

I wouldn't worry too much about Jon's blatherings.  He is usually in a room 
talking to himself anyway, since so few care to listen to his interminably 
wrought (up) perorations. Whether I stay or leave due to Don Laird is not at 
issue. I don't really care, since Don is obviously dane braimaged.

My actual problem is that I am boring myself silly listening to Jon's 
utterly predictable responses to almost everything. He is one of the most 
tedious humans I have had the displeasure of arguing with. I would rather 
listen to Andrea Dworkin on speed.

I have allowed myself to be drawn into arguments where Jon pokes his 
tenditious cliches in my general direction. Frankly, I have lots of actual 
work to do.

I am reminded of Gilbert's wonderful line spoken by the Masked Meanie many 
years ago.  "I swerved to hit a dog and ran into this tree."  I would prefer 
to not hit a tree, so I am through swerving.

Leave me on the list if you like, but I am heading for radio silence for a 
while.

Best to you all,

telecrank
