Not merely "tough guy" but a special kind: a "usenet tough guy".

Sort of like hiding behind your monitor and acting all tough.

Any Casper Milquetoast can be a usenet tough guy. Which is why you've
never looked at yourself as a tough guy - because you're not. If you
spoke to people in person the way you type your BS in usenet, you'd
find yourself in a world of hurt.

But hey - anyone can hide behind some anonymous initials and call names
over the internet.

Yeah, you're real tough. Keep up the swagger, Casper.

That's fine; I don't believe what you say, either.

No, it was intentionally ironic.

Didn't you get that?

I'd find it easier to believe if it wasn't your normal signature,
tough guy.

You're freaking paranoid.

Oh my! Larger type fonts? It's clear now. I can read the writing on
the wall. There out to get you.

Hahahahahahahaha

How would you pretend to know my age group?

And, you wish to reverse the tables?

Ever hear the phrase: "United we Stand. Divided we Fall" ??

Your paranoia would drive a wedge between the young and the elderly.

Your type of paranoia is EXACTLY what is destroying this nation.

You are the one who wishes to erode our Right of Locomotion.

Oh, yeah - a real tough guy. I don't go around and call folks "idiots"
or whatever.

It's hard to get much more mild-mannered than I post. (Except maybe
posts to Christian Huebner or DTJ.)

But hey, believe what makes you happy - I'm sure you will anyway.
