I ask again: Why pick on families? They are no part of anyone's
argument here. Not a classy thing to do, IMO.

The main reason it's done to the Krooborg is because the Krooborg does
it to
others first. Not that I (or anybody else that I know of) believes in
two
wrongs making a right. The point has always been to get Mr. Slime to
face up
to his own behavior. Admittedly, the family-smearing tactic has not been
successful on that front, but it's an indication that Normals have lost
patience with Turdy. As you know, Krooger is impervious to logic, to
sympathy, to decency, to common sense, to reason, and, as far as I know,
to
every other point of commonality that non-crazy people use to establish
rapports.

Unless I missed something, I have never seen Arny making such nasty
comments about other people's family members the way you or Shhhhhh
did..

You missed them all? Turdy's comments about Zippy's wife, dave's father,
and
several people's alleged infliction of FAS by their irresponsible mothers?
All of them? Wow.

As you noticed yourself, nothing works to make Arny change, so why
continue smearing his family? They have no part in all this.

Speaking for myself, I just like smacking the Krooborg. Yes yes, I could
do
with more self-restraint. Also, I confess I enjoy that old "an eye for an
eye" type of justice. The good thing is that Krooger is much more pained
by
comments such as Shhhh's than his victims are by his own attacks.


The one aspect of the complaints about such comments that I don't grasp is
the underlying sympathy-for-the-Krooborg strain. You and others seem to
accept implicitly that having the Beast among us is our burden, and we
should all try to cope with it. This I don't get. If I'm wrong, please
correct me.

It's simple.
The cure (you) is worse than the disease (Arny).
