Hey!

I'm sure you've seen this article, but I couldn't refind the thread so I'll
cut and paste bits of it for u to peruse.

It appears to me some people out there have no idea what a sense of humour is.

>     Taliesin are you an obnoxious ass all the time, or are you just
putting on a show for us?

Tim, I'm just living a fun life. Seems like you take it too seriously. Get your
head out of your arse bozo.

We did have a personality clash.. I admit I went too far and spouted a fair
bit of shit without realising when to give up.. But I knew what the outcome
was going to be right from the start. (Nb. this doesn't mean I plotted my 
demise)

>    So what did you do? Ridiculed his post.

If thats what you think who am I to argue.

If you actually read what I put, or even what I just posted on shattered world
(you have tried it I hope!) you would realise that I was greatful for what
Dredd wrote, and as a direct result I have had 4/5 offers of wiz ship subject
to a chat from others less preoccupied with themselves on here..

I only acted like a condescended turd.. IMHO. You ARE one. 8)

I don't think it will find me a mud home. In fact I could use a break from 
mudding so I can finish my degree with a decent grade. In addition a lot of
muds I have already seen don't even compare to shattered world and it would
take me a lot of convincing for me to start to get to know one again. 
( No offense meant to anyone who's posting offers.. I haven't tried any of
those yet due to a lack of time )

Funny thing is.. I find net marriages totally sad. Sorry if a lot of you are 
fascinated with them, but IMHO this instant man meets female on mud = marriage
strikes me as pathetic. There are exceptions as in all cases where real
partnerships meet up on a mud.. But a lot of the time I feel that some people
should get off the computer and sort out there real lives. I have. Try it
sometime.

Boy, thats a relief. I'd be more than content to use the name Taliesin with
the knowledge that a total shit like you is onb the loose on the mud scene!

Have a happy christmas. I am/will.

bother others in the process. ho hum)
