I used to get pissed off when I saw drivers who were obviously in a big fat hurry and zigzagging through traffic and cutting people off and just driving like everyone else was in their way.

Sometimes when I saw them, I would purposely maneuver to obstruct their progress. Sometimes, they would notice my clear intentions. Then everyone, including me, would get really fricking angry. It would make me feel terrible for hours.

Then I realized that was stupid, so I started doing this little thing: Whenever I saw those drivers, I imagined they have a bleeding infant in their back seat and are rushing them to the hospital. Then I make lots of room and let them pass me. And I feel great about it. Even knowing that it probably isn't true most of the time, I feel much better about it.

Same thing happened to me after I left the church. I stopped assuming the people with whom I disagree had evil, horrible intentions, and began starting with the assumption that they are seeking a better world through the spread of their beliefs.

So, droopy, why not start pretending in your own mind that we are all here because we each truly believe that the world will be made a better place if other people adopt our beliefs? You'll feel much better about us, collectively and individually, and you'll feel much better about yourself.

Whaddya say, kiddo?

Droopy deigns to lecture us. Droopy takes the moral high ground. Droopy who pissed away his birthright on booze and a paintball range while claiming on this very board to be a "venture capitalist". Droopy who has failed for 10,000 posts. Failed. Droopy we hope you don't come back.

Droopy,

I hope you continue posting here. I can't imagine trying to read the MAD board or Front Page Mag, and as I've said many times, I am a fan. If this retirement is for real please let me know what your Twitter account is or where I can continue to follow.

P.S

If you retire from MDB, you'll leave all the right wing political commentary to bcspace and jskains. No one wants that.

For reference, when was the last time he did this?

for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that jskains has been permanently banned.
