Here is what you said:

"Yes indeed. And as much fun as it would be to say “I told you so”, we have to forgive them. There are a few people who are genuinely malicious, but the vast majority are just stupid and weak. The oligarchs are trying to sow division. We can’t win if we spend all our time fighting each other."

Listen, if you want to forgive your family members, you go right ahead. Good for you. Very virtuous and that's how *we* win.

But *we* don't have to forgive them.

*You* don't get to tell OTHER people who they HAVE to forgive.

That would be audacious on your part.

Maybe it was just phrasing.

Or maybe you are just a middle child of the universe who hates conflict.

If you want to talk about this more, email me at mxcollins@gmail.com. I don't want to clutter up Good Citizen's comment section with this emotional / semantic vomit.

I believe I will comment on a public message board on a comment that The Good Citizen liked as I see fit.

If I wish to e-mail you, I will, thanks.

Isn't it great how you put yourself in charge of FORGIVENESS FOR ALL and now you are in charge of The Good Citizens's message board, mxcollins?

I'd like to tell you a story now. It is a true story and your handle makes me think of it.

When I was about nine years old, my father butchered a rabbit in front of me.

He asked if I wanted to go away so as not to see.

My father held the rabbit down, and smashed its skull with an iron. The rabbit stopped wriggling.

Good, thought young me. Rabbit didn't suffer.

Then my father picked up the blade with a handle.

Suddenly the rabbit started wriggling again, and shrieking.

Fuck! It wasn't dead.

WHAM! Came the blade.

Okay, now it was dead. Thank goodness. Not too much suffering.

It was hard to watch, but I think a person should see how dinner gets to the table.

Can I just tell you? My whole family hated the taste of rabbit. We tried to eat it in many different forms. Mercifully, we finally just gave up on it. Woof. Terrible tasting meat.

Did you enjoy my story?

I hope so.

100% true.

You won’t because

(1) it won’t give you any internet points

(2) it might lead to real progress

(3) it requires effort

(4) you might have to change your mind

The only real progress I want to make is to see you being fed to the family hog.

Ain't I grand?

Did I win any internet points?

I hope that your family butchers you, and tries to eat you and decides that the meat is stringy and disgusting and feeds it to the family hog.

How's that for internet points?

Will you please, PLEASE forgive me?

Magical.

I've dealt with your lying sanctimonious type my whole life.

I fantasize about murder. How's that for internet points.

You can't resist, can you? You can't let it sit there. You have to get the last word and project your "internet points" thesis and still try to create separation that YOU Fat Rabbit Iron, are on the spiritual quest, and OTHERS need to join YOU on the high road.

I forgive you, Fat Rabbit Fecal Matter.

For your anger.

We have to forgive each other.

Sometimes Middle Children of the Universe have so much rage inside and they don't know how to deal with that rage. They have stuffed that rage so long because they are so frightened.

Kumbaya types are always loaded with anger. Annette Bening in American Beauty.

How's that for internet points?

Just straight up loathing and hatred I have for you.

Direct and unvarnished.
