When I become perfect I'll let you know and remember to give you justice for your cruel words. However, since I'm not perfect and the odds a trillion zillion squared to one that I ever find Delaware on a map, I'll just imagine a large shovel taking your words of manure and shipping them to the Bush ranch. You have to be cruel to be kind in the right measure. Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign. Well, unless you like being tied up and whipped, or think your date or wife would enjoy a night watching the movie Eraserhead to lead up to that special moment, I think cruelty is really rude, hateful and could lead you into the direction of collecting kitchen sinks, which of course would mean you should run for president. I could never understand what a person hoped to achieve by being cruel. It seems to me cruel people are very selfish and resent everyone who doesn't agree with their point of view. They tend to be the most obnoxious of the politically correct and probably never did the silly walk, even when there were long lines to get to a restroom.
Maybe you're wondering where this rant is going. I sure am. Excuse me while I adjust a loose screw. Ah yes, I'm talking about some of the vicious comments I have read on some other Gather member articles. Accusations so thick and hateful that you know the person took the Jethro Tull song 'Thick As A Brick' to heart in emulation. If such a person is that way to a Gather person they've never had a spot of tea with in real life, just imagine what a joy they are to actual people they know in real life. I can just imagine such a person going to child's birthday party with a sharp pin and popping the balloons, then recording sounds of the children crying, so they can play these sounds in the background while watching their collection of Bush & Cheney speeches. Maybe I'm going too far and becoming cruel. I'll need to watch some Lawrence Welk to regain my kind nature. One person in particular is the queen of cruel on Gather. I was wondering why and then I saw the reason on TV. It seems she did not win the Ugly Dog contest and needs to bark at someone.
I've been on Gather for over a year and can think of only two instances where someone attacked me with their comments to one of my articles. Excuse me while I get a hanky. It is so cruel for these cruel people to ignore me. Sniff sniff. Maybe they think I'm too cute and of course no one attacks someone who should be annually on the cover of People magazine as the most handsome unidentified alien. Maybe they realize I have a third leg because these cruel attack comments are sexist. The only ones I've seen have been against women. Can you believe such prejudice in this day and age? Maybe if these cruel people listened to the song 'Bounce Your Boobies' they would understand why most men, except for me of course, spend so much time looking below the neck and realize that not all women are blondes. Some women have pink hair thanks to Marge's cloud seeding efforts. Most women have a bad hair day at least once a week and these cruel comments on make matters worse for their husbands and all men in general. Maybe this is a conscious trickle down theory by these cruel commentators to really single out their wrath on men. Oh my! It makes me wonder if those of us who never have a bad hair day are actually the intended victims.
Since I am not perfect, I am shocked, besides myself with dismay and often have to eat lots of chocolate to revive my spirits when I see my article has a 10 star rating. I know that a 10 star rating means the secretive group, Cows Only Wanting A Reply Don't Share, (Please read capitalized letters for their acronym), only have it in their charter to leave one star ratings and would never expose themselves without a raincoat or by making a comment. These people generally speaking like elephants and donkeys and are divisively split into two parties. One of course are the cruel people who never found any use for Teletubbies, walks in the park, or reruns of Mr. Ed. The other group consists of those who only want you to read their articles and have no intention of ever commenting on another person's articles. They of course are very fond of lemmings. Not all mass mailers belong to these groups, but it is easy enough to tell. If you responded and made a comment on their article more than once and they never commented on any of your articles, then they think you are a cute lemming and will continue to feed you with request to read their articles. If you don't continue to do so, well, there could be consequences. Do you like jumping off of cliffs? I must apologize for this article not being perfect, but I am practicing. By the year 2525, if man is still alive and still looking below the neckline, I just may succeed and know the color of my wife's eyes.

(Saw it on the big screen - ha ha - what a work of ... of ... of scary baby on celluloid that would feel too long at ten minutes !!!)
If some people want to be cruel then they just have that kind of life, I guess. How sad for them to be so unhappy. The nice thing about the internet is we know they're actually very very far away.
Bye now nasty wee ones.
"In Heaven Everything is Fine - you got your good things and I got mine" (song from Eraserhead - haha)
It's sad you had to make sure that it was understood as satire? (Going to go reread now, because I'm having significant comprehension, typing and focus problems right now, and I couldn't figure out if you think women or men are more cruel).
the swallows have not returned to Capistrano...or are the buzzards the ones that show up there first?
Governors are paying $5500 an hour for escort service...a walker rental is cheaper! for Pete's Sake!
yes..very strange happenings...so beware...
I guess Pluto won't be invited since it was downgraded to a big orbiting rock...
I'm still partying like it's 1994...you know..the Prince song...'party like it's.." Oh never mind...
does anybody really care that Uncle Joe is stuck in Hootersville at Petticoat Junction with an enlarged prostate ?
oh! the humanity!
Maybe I left my oxygen off to long, hope you are feeling better William.
Listen . . . explaining to some raving wingnut that he should get his rectal-cranial inversion problem checked by the proper medical personnel while their welfare benefits still cover their Medical benefits as well is really just giving a helpful suggestion, no? It's . . . ummmm . . . a public service. It's because you CARE! :P

Not that there is anything wrong about being Bipolar but this guy goes up, up ,up and then at times down and is viscous and cruel. "Right out of the blue."
William you have a very keen sense of compassion and empathy that's why it bothers you so much. Rant but continue to write you have much to contribute. This too shall pass...
It's a sin...
Dear William, I am sorry that between your beautiful prose work and poetry you were effected with these shots.
Take care
feel better soon
All is not as it appears at times and the friendships made here are based upon our words,our images our outpourings..I cannot look into anybody's eyes or hear a voice to gauge the emotion,the inflection or plumb the truth in the content.
Trust borne of truth.
I walk through life with my arms open hands empty..no weapons..
Being a friend is a contract based on trust ,love and respect.
Bashing does no good..
What is an explanation for the blatant theft,for the direct infliction of pain(see Sophie S article) the in your face claims of propriety and creativity when it has been exposed time and again not to be the case...Beats me..
Most people at some point will post pictures of themselves..
Be very sure of who you think you are defending...
I have discovered that ,unfortunately all is not as it appears on these cyber communities.
I respect your lion hearted defense of those you perceive as being unfairly attacked.
I don't condone a kick 'em when they're down attitude.
I won't support plagiarism in any form...I don't think you do,either.
Thanks for your comment..
Thank you too,,, for reading my Gather,,, I do appreciate your wonderful comment,,, hugs,,, Marie,
Let's see: a bit earlier up above, you said none of the people who had commented here had left nasty comments to your knowledge. However, I had NOT YET commented at that point. Maybe I'm one of the culprits along with "Clear and Ever Present Danger Marge!"
Well, probably not. I like to joke but not be cruel.
I hope you took that pain pill last night and are feeling better today. If you don't behave yourself, we are all coming to your house and planting dandelions and sprinkling dandruff all over the yard!!!
I understand your rant and I wish I could rant as eloquently as you do. have a great or at least a better day hon.
Imagine having a new commentor on your work and within a week, being stalked by more than one of his would be gather "vixens" (and I am being very kind with that word)
Perhaps it is time for someone to do an article on how gather is in cyberworld, and like most of the online experiece, it not real.
While gather DOES have the biggest amount of real people per capita of any online site I have visited--there are still a lot of people here that are not what they want to project.
And for every Marge, Wilmas, Elsies and Edward....
there are at least 10 more that wouldnt/couldnt tell you the color of the sun, even if they were looking up. Because it is not in their nature to be honest or real. And really, who cares. They are the ones who have to look in the mirror each day. We just get to watch the show.....
To me the online experince should be taken with a grain of salt, and like you said above--a shovel.
Oh and the phantom low raters?
GIMME more of them!! Each time they view my page to rate me lowly, I get points. And I need more because I am buying house paint with mine this spring.
Blessings... love...
Girly Comments & Graphics
Have a great gather day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
