Oh. my. God.

What the HELL have you unleashed, Lew? I count three posts by this guy
and a dozen or so by "Nebulous", all repeating the above lines over and
over.

I can only presume that you stirred up some sort of hornet's nest, since
all of those posts are either responses to your post with what Jerry
characterizes as a "paranoid delusion and insult" or indirect followups
to the same post.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that you are not Jerry Gerrone
(Nebulous is just one of his names - Twisted is the name in which he
started one of the longest flame wars in Usenet history). If so, a word
of advice:
Your behaviour in this/these group(s) is almost as bad as Jerry's, and
that's really bad. It's very easy to believe that you are the same
person, just trying to be free of the Twisted stigma, but your reaction
to valid criticism trips you up.
You should clean up your act.

No. There is nothing at all wrong with my behavior and you will stop
publicly suggesting otherwise. Doing so is not on topic in any comp.*
newsgroup anyway.

I hope I have made myself adequately clear.

What "valid criticism"? I have yet to see any.

You just proved my points. I rest my case.
