Mike


Just remember, no matter how you live or what you do, none of us will

ever
get out of here alive.

All the more reason to live in a way that you can be proud of, instead
of selfishly abusing people and wildlife for cheap thrills such as
mountain biking.


Are your family members equally proud of your decades-long obsession, Mike?


If they cared enough, they held an intervention. He obviously refused help.


Or, as seems much more likely, do they express concern that you're wasting
your life and that you may have a mental illness? Have they ever
recommended that you speak with a mental health professional?


Yes, but he was probably diagnosed too late, and therefore thought his
maniacal obsessions were "normal".


Do you have any close friends and/or lovers in the real world?


Obviously not, since the death of his cat.

Or, is this
your real world?

You can leave whenever you like, but you don't have the right to take
wildlife with you.


Looks to me like you're enjoying the use of 'electricity'. Certainly,
no wildlife has ever been harmed by the building of power plants, eh?

If you weren't using electricity to make that statement, it might mean
something. Hypocrite.

Yes indeed, you are a hypocrite. Standing on your soapbox whining
about others harming the environment, and doing the same yourself. How
pathetic. Do the men in white coats know your missing?

Yes...it's a shame that your mental state precludes you from hearing.

Have any of your family members expressed concern with your obsessions
regarding the deaths of mountain bikers? Do they know that you post them as
"evidence" of the evil of mountain biking? If so, do they support your
behavior and your quest? Or, do they express concern for your mental
well-being?

I would be very surprised if you haven't alienated yourself from your former
friends and family. The fact that you never mention anyone else in your
posts (or answer questions about your friends or family) leads me to believe
that you are an isolated, lonely, bitter person who suffers deeply in an
obsessive attempt to suppress what you wrongly perceive as an evil force.
You're deluded, of course, but until you seek help you'll never be able to
see that.

True, but unlike Mike we may not get there morally bankrupt.
