Perhaps you'll also recall that you're both seated at a rather short, small table.

Good on you. You have no idea how much wisdom OV holds in his soul.  Much comes out here but there is so much more. He literally played a major part in saving my life. My real life, not the small part that leaks out here. 
 
All best with that. ☮️

Look, I'm done in here.  Do what ever the fuck you all want.

No one wants to delete this stuff so it goes away and dave gets his house back, tidied up.  No one is going to forget this.

So keep on posting and ripping the scab off.  I will not be back to see if the other stuff is deleted so that I can delete mine.

People being an asshole usually don't realize it until the universe plays the same shit back to them, and some not even then.

Look, I've offered a solution and no one wants it.

We can all go back and delete all the posts and its over.  The mess is cleaned up.

Like I said several times, I just wanted dave to stop seeking me out and fucking with me for his jollies.

He refused, repeatedly amongst wide spread support for deliberate rage baiting by his own admission.

Had to get his attention that I've had it and did this.  No rants or tirades.  Just doing to him what he has been doing to me in his own space.

He made it personal so I went into the closest thing around here that could be personal to dave.  You want I should do this in a gardening thread ?

I thought long and hard before doing this.  It was not a spontaneous reaction.

Bellys up to the bar.

Kurt, my friend, there's nothing to think about except trying to find the joy in what can be a really difficult existence. You would know about this. 
The grinding wheel is worn out. It doesn't matter. None of it does. The arguments certainly don't. You can't and shouldn't try to control what people say and/or do through a muddy political lens. Clean them really well and take a fresh look. All these issues and arguments are already over. It's just that most people don't realize it. 
Nobody is right if everybody is wrong. We're as likely to hate our way into a new understanding as we are to make peace with a madman bent on self destruction.

You can defend your principles without supporting what you know is a really ugly derivative of a missed opportunity (the first time) to identify and establish worthy leadership
to be promoted and elected. Instead it's the game and all the players. Sorry, My dog ate my list. The second election just followed script. It's a tragedy and a shame but of such are golden opportunities made. 

Yet, everyone is talking and no one is listening.
Live your life. Don't go on choking on the deluge of falsehood and hypocrisy. Trust deeply. Trust your intuition. Trust your musical deflection.

You don't need to feel justified or validated to have the beliefs and experiences you draw from. Just don't try to defend yourself by trying to justify the indefensible acts of a government that has long ago lost its direction and calling.

Personally I have many opinions. 
Most are forthright. None are weapons. They hold my experiences, both difficult and easy alike. I know for sure that bitterness is fatal.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the chips continue to fall where they may. All the clichés. Find your better nature and use it like a feather hammer.
Own your mistakes. Take no prisoners. Stillness and simplicity gives you time and opportunity to actually channel solutions for yourself and those you love. Save room for stragglers.

That just makes you a part of the problem here.  You might be the biggest part of it when it is all said and done.

You have been the biggest bully this place has ever seen.  You have driven more people out of here than everyone else combined.

Are we going to be done with this or not ?

You've got a lot of nerve after your attack on me and my wife.  It may be over, but it certainly is not forgotten.

 
This is between me and dave. 

I know you want a piece of me, too. Careful what you wish for.

We can all disagree about things without making it personal.  That is the only thing I seek.
