[Kind-a OT] On a certain denizen

I would normally place this on the c.l.j.p, but I am placing it here since I know that most people who read c.l.j.p also read c.l.j.h, and that by placing this message here, I will save a fair amount of Usenet traffic.

While I feel it is improper to initiate a discussion about someone behind his or her back, I feel more strongly that it would be easier on all to avoid the proper situation when the end outcome is already foreshadowed to be grim.

Since the user in question--Twisted is the easiest of his (I am presuming the gender to be male here, my apologies if this assumption is incorrect) aliases to write--is so concerned about his apparent reputation, I would like to know what people perceive him to be.

My personal perception is that he's an over-coddled man who simply can't stand to be told that he is in error and is unable to take any criticism whatsoever. I am also trying to decide whether or not I think he is merely incapable of seeing himself as committing a crime for which he denounces others, but I am not so sure that that same comment cannot be said for all of us as well.

In addition, I could throw out any number of littler sins that I think he is guilty of, but, to me, these are all problems we all have, just taken to further levels than normal.

I would also like to know if I am merely imagining the irony of his posts, like as follows:
(Daniel Pitts's post):
> No [sic] only that, but he'll snip every point you make and replace it > with insult deleted.
>
> What an idiot.

(Twisted's reply):
> On Oct 26, 9:28 pm, Daniel Pitts

Note: I fully intend, if this works as I hope it will, to summarize points of this thread and email them to Twisted himself in the hopes of limiting unwanted elements to only one person and not the entirety of Usenet.
