So name them. They are not involved in this until _you_ involve them. There is no reason whatsoever for me to do anything like you stupidly want simply so you can find a way to take revenge when you cannot do it now. You admit to have lost, that you can do nothing about what _you_ perceive as a gross violation. Maybe it simply is not what you think it is? Maybe you should realize that the only recourse you would have is to make it something it is not, but that this requires cooperation wigh a similarly self-destructive disorder on my end, and conclude that it is in fact no point whatsoever to even _ask_ for this idoicy, that it makes you look like even more of a moron to make this stupid revenge point. I have described your _behavior_ here. It is _amazingly_ uintelligent. Just behave smarter, and the criticism will also go away. It really is that simple. Whining that my description is so accurate that it is slanderous and libelous is actually even more deserving of the same description. The _only_ working recourse after having been stupid or idiotic is to _stop_ being stupid and idiotic, even if you do not "agree" that it is stupid or idiotic. If you cannot deal with this kind of "disagreement", it is actually nobody's business but your own. Do not try to make it anyone else's. By admitting that you cannot change your behavior and put the "slander" to shame _that_ way, you simply prove it true, and more so: By whining about it, you prove it even _more_ true. Just be intelligent about it. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none. In a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.
