I'm starting to hate people - this fucking job
Being called a dickwad by some guy threatening to sue my paper over and article I did was the last draw. I'm buying an Uzie.

Either, fear not, he has no case and is just puffing air, especially seeing as how he said I said he could read the story before I published it. I never EVER EVER have allowed that before and have a strict policy against it.
SO then he says he has me on tape saying it, and his lawyer heard it this morning. I said, "Odd then your lawyer obviously questioned you as to why I wasn't on tape saying that."
Then I said, seeing as how he wants to bring attorneys into it, "Here you can call our lawyer, hang on I'll get his number." Then, of course, he backs off. Actually he said "What do I want to talk to your lawyer for - you wrote the story dickwad."
Then he says he's had 30 people call him saying I did him wrong. So I said "please give them my number and I'll be happy to address their concerns (I knew not one person has called him)" Then he says "What do they need to call you for?"

This guy is full of shit, and I swear to god, I'm gonna fuck him over right and proper if he persists.

GOD I HATE PEOPLE!

3. The volume of the Bark is inversely proportional to
the amount of bite.

I'm curious though, what was the subject of the article?

5. I know how you feel, sometimes I feel like giving up
on humanity.

Just stare at your beautiful sig line photograph for a very long time and it will help you see the beauty in the world again.

It works for me - thank you for posting it for the rest of us to enjoy!
