LOL, so your "plonks" don't work they way you want them to?

You've got it backwards. It seems to me that _you're_ the one looking
for attention; excuse me, _adulation_ and can't stand any sort of
criticism since it pokes holes in your perception of yourself.

My point. You'd like to _pretend_ they didn't happen. Head in the
sand again. And what's with the name calling??? A bit of hypocrisy,
no? Or is name calling OK for you to engage in but not for others?

More foolishness. You _delight_ in trying to take the last word and
then typing "plonk" at the end of your little barb whether, in fact,
you actually plonk your critic or not.
