Huh?

All people should live where Mikey wants them to live, never mind any
other factors.


Mike's a wack-job.

Ignore him.

The responses simply feed his ego, and his deluded sensibilities.

Ignore him.

He'll eventually get the hint, and like a fart, disipate.
No, he'll never get the hint. There will always be a fresh supply of newbs
that will resond to him and keep the troll alive.

No? You mean you can't subscribe to the "single mania fits all" school

I actually enjoy poking a stick at him on the really boring days. It's
quite entertaining - kinda like filling out those impossible cryptic
crossword puzzles. Just like the puzzles, he too needs to be put away
until later lest the entertainment turn to frustration.

He's 61 or thereabouts. Given that extreme bitterness is bad for your
health, it's a safe bet he won't be around much longer.

None of which hold water. You could find work that didn't require that. Besides,

trailer.

You may disagree with those reasons, but many people would agree with
them, at least in part, as making traveling everywhere by bicycle
impractical. There are a few people who do live a lifestyle using a
bicycle only, there are not many and they make significant
accomodations to this lifestyle.

Are you incapable of distinguishing between your opinions and the
truth?

Is it possible for someone to be right about anything if they do not
agree with you on everything?

Are you the sole source of truth and knowledge?

Duh!!! Don't you know that Mike's opinions are the only ones that matter.
Everyone's else is just a lie.

If you're so honest, why is it unfortunate?
