<p>Late night error: post #36, not #38. </p>
<p>Hateful epithets: bigot? bully? Blunt, not hateful. If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. </p>
<p>And you’re being disingenuous, as is your wont: you don’t say “don’t hit back,” you accuse people of “being mean”, cite you age, plead for sympathy on irrelevant grounds, cry “hateful epithets,” in an effort to secure immunity by claiming victim status. I’d give you an “A” in rhetoric, for you’re far more competent than most adults.</p>
