i really can't believe what i'm seeing here. a little good natured ribbing coming back the other way and it dominates a thread. try walking a mile in my shoes... you'd get blisters after 10 paces my friends. my buddy pan called me a hypocrite and a tool (by association) in another thread not too long ago... i know who i am, no harm done. pan, roachboy, smooth... they get spirited sometimes because they're sincere. like water off a duck's back now-a-days.
it's not silly or useless. it's not juvenile... it's just a lighthearted jab. you have appreciate that from most people's perspective, leaving after an election when you are guaranteed another shot at succes in 2 or 4 years is akin to that one kid in gradeschool who took his kickball home when he wasn't picked first for teams. whether that be a refusal to engage the world as roachboy proposes or a semi-successful attempt to bite your tongue at absurdity as i view it... it's not meant to be deep, or personal, empathetic or mean-spirited. it's just a quick pop to the shoulder to get a reaction.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
