I think that's basically how it went.

After he went on a huge rant about how everybody is inferior to him and how elph is genetically inferior because he didn't get that girl pregnant I told him that mental illness is a genetic inferiority and his son is a child of a bipolar woman.

Just noticed the long, exhausting message from Merit
and my mind was saying, "Where's the music?"
So, I thought I'd ask. I don't see this crap on other
music forums I've been a part of. One jazz forum cut their
"politics/religion" years ago and it's been a whole lot better
with actual focus on music ... and a favorite that I go to
regularly has so much new modern music to talk about that
I have no idea what they think socially/politically about
practically anything. It's pretty glorious.

Motherf*ckers, we do this sh*t for free. I don't know enough about my own grandmother to make a eulogy and I'm supposed to know whether or not you strangers are pieces of sh*t or not? Sh*t's hard.
