 TH> My my, the unjustified indignation. Proud?

     Not at all. Not unjustified, not indignant, not proud.
     (Hence the "smiley" ...)

     Just amusement. :-)


 TH> Why so spiteful?

     "Ill will, with a wish to anger, annoy or defeat."

     Nope. Just amused.

  You infer my gentle reminders of reality and common sense
  containing wisdom and pith are "insulting"? :-) My!

  I fear that would lead you into a terrible sense of being always
  correct. You have, I think, enough of that. :-)

 Have you noticed that posts in this echo concerning what you call
 my "insults" or "Spite" are not so considered by others here?
 By *noone else* here? I say this not to justify myself but merely
 to suggest that your opinion might just not be totally correct.
 (I've never been to "Holysmoke"...)

 TH> Is that what a panentheistic hedonist would do?

    Get it right. :-) A realized escatological panentheist, sure.
    Hedonist? No, but I believe that only conscious suffering makes any
    sense......

    Mebbie Epicurian would be close: "Do not avoid pleasures, but select
    them" --
