Originally posted by Kewpie You must be what some call a fan of FMF. I guess that means you form attachments too readily and perhaps unsuitably.
Not quite. Unlike his most slavering fans, I see exactly what drives FMF. And it's not pretty.
The ones who readily form unsuitable attachments with him are the ones who think anything he says (all his sneering, venom-dripping denigration of other forum posters who just don't seem to get that he's talking about them) actually has value. The worst ones are those who begin to take on a similar sneering narcissistic persona to his against those who even superficially disagree with them. But these people probably shared his personality flaws long before they took up his banner, it just wasn't quite as obvious. At least we can now "know them by their fruits".

You forgot to mention that I ferry "these people" ~ the "slavering fans" of mine ~ around in Black Helicopters. 😉
The reason I didn't save the baby from the burning building, Your Honour, is that I strongly believe in the importance of thinking. I spent the time devising a watertight scheme to stop buildings from burning ever again. Unfortunately the rough treatment I received from Office Krupke has dislodged it from my brain.
