Almost all of your posts to me are insulting, beside the point, insinuating, stupid, bitter, ugly, ignorant, mean, or just generally unpleasant. I have no interest whatsoever in you, your opinions, or how or where you spend your time, but certainly it could be more productively spent than in incessantly buzzing around me like some minor but persistent annoyance, because your current behavior is absolutely unproductive. Since I asked you to stop posting to me in January I have totally ignored you, but you won't go away, posting to me as many as twenty times a day, and I can only conclude, using logic, that you are some sort of parasite, or have some sort of mental disorder or obsession with me. Definitely, you are harassing me. Obviously, it is possible for you to participate in the Boink thread without posting to me, but you are apparently out of control and cannot help yourself. I could care less how long you have been there; it is irrelevant. Are you somehow insinuating that because you were at Boink first, I cannot post there? I don't care where you post, but am again requesting that you simply leave me alone. I have no proprietary interest in any thread at SI, but do feel that I should be able to post without constantly seeing your unappealing name on my incoming messages, since I have made very clear it is unwelcome. Have you no shame or self-esteem? Incidentally, I used to smoke, and my experience as a smoker is just as valid as yours, anecdotally speaking. A person who cannot smoke very often, for example an office worker in a place where smoking is not allowed, becomes quite agitated as the day wears on. Delivering very high, legally prohibited doses of nicotine during the widely spaced cigarette breaks causes more agitation and craving, and will usually cause the smoker to smoke even more cigarettes over the course of the day, because the addict needs to maintain a high level of the drug. You describe yourself as a heavy smoker, but do not work in an office and do not have your smoking regulated in the same way that it would be if you worked where smoking is prohibited.
