15. I don't actually "feel personally attacked"
Mon Jan 9, 2012, 07:52 PM
Jan 2012

Nor do I feel "outraged" or any of the other emotions that people with no case to make ascribe to people who disagree with them.

I *know* that they are engaged in a personal attack. I just don't *feel* it.

It's all they've got, and they do it pretty badly on the whole anyhow. So it would be funny, if the world were just an internet board. On an internet board, it is often hilarious. They're just so "sad", in the brit sense of the word. Losers.

Knowing that these people exist in the real world is the worst part. But hey, they're mainly harmless, dateless men, from all the available evidence.

Of course, resentful dateless (or feminist-hating) men are the ones who go to classrooms and gymnasiums and gun down women who are total strangers to them ...

But no, no, nobody's enabling those behaviours with their denial.
