But just like a whack-a-mole game, he gets old REALLY fast, and there's really nothing to be gained by paying any attention to him, even if it's only to whack him down again. Life would be a lot better, all around, if everyone would just killfile the fool. As things are, I don't have to deal with him unless someone else responds to his drivel - but that unfortunately happens frequently enough that I'm still seeing way more of what he writes than I really care to.

Yeah , but it beats daytime TV . Hopefully the small business I'm trying to get started will soon get me outta the house , but right now it's unemployed city around here and I bore easily ... > Life would be a lot better, all around, if everyone would > just killfile the fool. Bob M. And I've come so close to ploinkin' him that it ain't funny . But for right now , he still has some emtertainment value to me ... -- Snag Easily amused some days ...

Perhaps so, but my approach is to take and idiot and make him serve some useful purpose, if he's going to be around anyway. That's why I prefer to focus on the general narrative that plays out. In Krusty's case, it's the bitter fruit he has harvested as a result of his incapacity to accept personal responsibility and the self- destructive, alienating attitude towards society that central defect causes. There are things to be learned from the tragedy that is his life and that's really the more important, more interesting and relevant subject to consider. |
