He lives two hours away from London where this clown is. Despite the fact that he's 6'2" , former bodybuilder, former bouncer and occasional Dojo Princess. (Tae Kwan Do or generic KB, I can't remember which) Mx's a lover, not a fighter. Reason, rationale, diplomacy, discourse. Those are Mxlplkt's hallmarks. I offered to make the drive to Ontario with MX and got a lecture about nonviolence that could have been penned by Fred Rogers. I think UM won't let you graduate until they wash every last drop of violent initiative out of you. (sigh)
I tell Mx that this is why the Buckeyes kick the snot out of the Wolverines every year, but he doesn't care about violent competitive sports. He's too busy building bird house for nice old ladies at the Senior Citizen Center instead. " Join the Dark Side Mx," I tell him. "Join the Dark Side."
"Oh, Pshaw!". Mx says before returning to his new house and his lovely fiance to plan their honeymoon to the Carribean. "He probably means well."
Disgusting benevolence and bon homme. I certainly hope the RPF Staff has moved to protect we passivistic (sp?) old guys from the opportunistic ruthless predators on this board. I certainly hate to see a gentle spirit and long time RPF contributor like Mxlplkt stop coming here for fear of being
victimized. :angel
