More remarkably, as I scoped other RAO threads I discovered
that the dysfunctional individuals I had encountered in the
past were still swapping insults and accusations. Even more
weird, those assorted insults and accusations had not
changed one iota. The same claptrap as ever. It was as if I
had only left for a day.

Same people, natch. I have to admit that you've drawn them out, Howard. I
haven't seen them this excited in a long time. A few of them had kinda-sorta
reverted to acting a bit errr, human.

Totally agree. I couldn't believe it either when I looked in after 2
years (why, oh why did I do it?). I immediately went into a state of
deep depression at the realization that some adults are condemned to
perpetual pugilistic adolescence and haven't recovered since.

The phrase "love to hate" comes to mind. There's some tightly wound clocks
in there.

I don't hate these guys, I just find them fun to play with like my dogs.
Tease 'em with a bone, a carrot or a biscuit... It's good for them!
