partofme, did it seem to you also, that Matt felt the same way prousa feels about this video?

I am not trying to "pretend" a goddamn thing. I never made any statement supporting the actions shown on the tape.

You are making shit up and claiming I said it, Sam. It's dishonest and insulting.

I think my best move is not to sharpen my communication skills, but rather to stop trying to communicate with someone who prefers to deliberately misrepresent my posts rather than discuss what I actually said.

This sort of thing needs to happen much more frequently. Then maybe the criminals will be a little less uncivilized. Perhaps if you're the hostage, I should ask if you wish me to treat him with kid gloves or just let him abscond with you in tow? If he's got anyone I know, there will be blood to clean up.

I've got a whole bunch of "little darlins'" that I would like very much for you to meet. A few minutes alone with them and you will undoubtedly change your mind. How civilized do you want to be to a serial killer that murdered 40 people in cold blood? Oh, and there's no question, as he confessed.

Please don't bother to reply to this post. You've joined an exclusive club of posters whom I do not bother trying to talk to.

Too difficult?

Prefer the easy yet brutal and bloody way?

We're done, Sam. Seriously.
