But I, for one thing, will try to stick to it.


Nice thought, but as ****-for-Brains loves to say, been there, done
that. Many people have tried treating Turdborg as, say, a weak and
frustrated individual rather than the pestilence he actually is.
They've tried being patient and forbearing, ignoring the snot and
lies, in the hope of reaching the "person" they figured is lurking
behind the ever-primed six-shooter. This strategy failed miserably.
In Krooger's twisted mind, politeness and gentility are signs of
weakness. Agreement with others, to Krooger, is a diminishment, an
acknowledgement that the Beast is not the smartest, best-informed,
most sagacious hoarder of audio "knowledge" in the history of the
human race. And that acknowledgement can never be made.

Among others who have tried the strategy of kindness and sympathy
are Dr. Beej (Feng), Phoebe Johnston, and Obie-wan Conspiracy. And
we all know what reward they earned for their trouble.


Margaret, if your intent is to ignore Krooger, don't tell him that.
Doing so will impel Turdy to crow about "winning" against you, and
his diseased mind will manufacture more and more trolls until you
acknowledge him again.

Dealing with Krooger is a no-win proposition. Everything has been
tried; nothing has succeeded. (Nothing, that is, other than
slavishly agreeing with everything Mr. **** says and frequently
praising him for "telling it like it is".)

George,

If we really think of Arny as the retarded older sibling we never had, then
we can honestly be happy for his "victories", taunts and trolls. At least it
means there is *some* content and purpose in his existence. And that is a
good thing!

Cheers,

************************************************** **************
Heavenly Father, help us remember that the jerk who cut us off traffic
last
night is a single mother who worked nine hours that day and is rushing
home
to cook dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and spend a few
precious
moments with her children.

Help us to remember that the pierced, tattooed, disinterested young man
who
can't make change correctly is a worried 19-year-old college student,
balancing his apprehension over final exams with his fear of not getting
his student loans for next semester.

Remind us, Lord, that the scary looking bum, begging for money in the
same
spot every day (who really ought to get a job!) is a slave to addictions
that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares.

Help us to remember that the old couple walking annoyingly slow through
the
store aisles and blocking our shopping progress are savoring this
moment,
knowing that, based on the biopsy report she got back last week, this
will
be the last year that they go shopping together.

Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us,
the
greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we
hold dear. Open our hearts not to just those who are close to us, but to
all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive, show
patience,
empathy and love.
************************************************** **************


Madam,

This prayer honors yourself.

Due to his education, Arny is also repeating "empty-of-sens" prayers
since is youth exactly like young children in the oriental Madrasas.

I hope this one will satisfy your needs.

Lionel


Please Lionel, no one's english is that bad! I really have no idea what
you're trying to communicate. Please goto www.babblefish.com to clear up

As long as you don't expect anything you do to make a difference in
Krooger's behavior, you won't be disappointed.
