"I sensed the regal sternness of her face,
as she continued in the tone of one
who saves the sharpest words until the end:
"'Yes, look at me! Yes, I am Beatrice!
So you at last have deigned to climb the mount?
You learned at last that here lies human bliss?'"
------- Dante, Purgatorio, Canto XXX, lns. 70-75.
Through daily travail her face
Is the one, everlasting, solace.
Modicum et non videbitis me;
et iterum modicum et vos videbitis me.

Why do you idolize someone who gets her kicks through mindless cruelty? I thought you were a nice guy ...
Fisrt of all, I admire, not idolize, her. Secondly, she is not mindless or cruel. How can you says things about a person you've never met? Or even think I am a "nice guy"?
first, say oopikins
I stand corrected. Her cruelty is not mindless. Its cold-blooded and premeditated.
As if it takes premeditation to make fun of some of the moral mountebanks who crowd chat rooms. And, since when is being made fun of cruel? Can't people laugh at themselves? If an adult thinks being made fun of in a chat room, where they have anonymous SN's, is cruel then they have no business in any social setting and should bury their heads in the sand. "Cold-blooded and premeditated"---are you intimating that making fun of people in chat rooms is "criminal" or ever morally suspect? That's a hoot.
even, not ever
I notice that your last post is entirely directed at the people being mocked and how they should have thicker skins. You haven't offered a single word as to what you "admire" about Bidet -- which, after all, was the question.
What IS to admire about someone who sits around in AOL chat rooms thinking up vicious things to say about people?
Dear Anonymous,
I don't have to tell you why I admire Bidet. I can tell you I do for good reason and I can also state that she does much more than sit in Chat Rooms thinking up vicious things to say about other chatters. She does more good in her life offline than everyone I know(saving one)on AOL combined. If you knew her you'd agree with me. You don't. The loss is yours.
It's good you replaced that close up ... this one is a much better shoot. I liked the Dante` ... seems appropo.
You do more than Bidet in public life? What a crock. You don't even fucking bother to vote you lazy ass maggot.
Dearest Sarai,
The "saving one" was not meant for myself. It was meant for Tammynet. And by not voting I do more than anyone who votes and endorses a system thoroughly corrupted by money at all levels.
