Sure you are.  You said I was "enabling" it - here's a newsflash,
smart guy - *you* are the guy in control of what you post.  Your long
OT diatribes are your responsibility, 100%.  Only a little kid blames
others for his/her own choices.  Grow up, Brent.

I wouldn't be able to stand even two minutes of your stupid crap, if
you are even remotely like the jackass you are on the internet.  Even
so, listening to your black helicopter stuff is not something I'd
willingly choose to do.  Talk about car stuff?  OK.  All that other
k00ky krap?  No.  If you started talking about that krap, I'd sure as
tell you to shut up.  I don't care about your paranoia, I only care
about cars and driving (from your perspective, at least.)  You want to
drag all that other crap into a personal conversation, then it is YOU
who is the asshole, not the poor slob who doesn't want to hear it.
