DAYTOP Did Me Great Harm in the Long Run

Sekto, Get a life. Remember, you screwed yourself up, not anyone else.
SEKTO:
So, in your book, is anything bad that happens to others essentially their own fault?

Question to “Honesty”:
Honestly, your posts have more to do with petty antagonism than any real intention to defend programming…right?

Okay, so I was a little sleepy and the tensile strength of my tapestry thread was taught from tangles.
My reference to the movie The Jerk was to infer an analogy of Nathan (main character) clutching his thermos as to be similar to the desperate rationales that those who cling to their programming seem to find sufficient. Nathan (played by Steve Martin) finds his life taking a wrong turn. He’s leaving his home (forced by bankruptcy to leave this comfort zone he’s come to know) and gathering in his arms random objects on his way out…saying “This is all I need”…and this…and this…”etc. Shortly thereafter he’s adrift (wandering in a robe, I think) and has traded these items for a thermos. He announces that all he really needs is this thermos.
So my statement that, “It’s like they’re clutching the thermos while trying to force the rest of us to drink the punch from it!” was a bit of a mixed metaphor.

I have no desire to defend the program. They can handle that themselves if they wish. I do have issue with failures like SEKTO, Blaming people for his failure. Particularly those who are no longer alive. So the program didn't help him or possibly you. We get it, move on. :beat:
