  Yes.  Of course you did.  You can't even read anything I say without
  _imputing_ so much vile crap to it that one _has_ to wonder whence
  it all comes.  There should be enough to attack me for in what I
  actually do, but you have to go out of your way to make it worse by
  attacking me for what I do not do, what I do not say, and you have
  _zero_ ability or willingness to question your own actions when you
  do this.  Have you ever wondered what this makes you?

  Try reading what I wrote again, and restrict yourself to what I
  wrote, no Barry-Margolin-interpretations of it this time, OK?.  I
  actually suggest you pretend someone else wrote it, so you can keep
  your head screwed on straight for a change.

  I'll answer the question a couple paragraphs up for you: You're the
  kind of man who would willingly jail and hang people for actions you
  _want_ them to have committed, Barry.  You've done this before, and
  you'll do it again, as you do not learn from your past mistakes.
