It's part aversion therapy and part venting.

Say you have a neighbor who, although generally an okay guy, constantly goes to the bathroom on your front lawn. You ask the neighbor again and again and again and again and again and again etc, "please, neighbor, stop pooping on my front lawn," but he never will, because, in truth, he doesn't consider you to be a human being with the same right to dignity and the quiet enjoyment of life as he has. (In other words, he's farked in the head.)

Eventually, you will become so fed up with this neighbor that a tough choice must be made. You can:

[1] Load your 12 gauge shotgun with magnum deer slugs, hunt the neighbor down, and splatter his brains all over the neighborhood. But, as Dick Nixon used to say, "that would be wrong."

[2] You can move to another neighborhood, but that's really not fair, when someone else was the one making the first neighborhood unlivable, is it?

[3] You can call the police several times every day. (The equivalent here, I suppose, would be to report each and every one of his political ravings to Matt as "thread disruption.")

[4] You can put up a big wall around your property, heavy drapes on your windows, and seal all openings hermetically, so that you no longer have to smell the stench from next door. But that's really not fair either, is it? After all, the city ordinance says "DO NOT CHIT ON OTHER PEOPLES' PROPERTY."

[5] You can be as tolerant and kind as possible, for as long as possible, until you snap, at which point you take a paper bag, fill it with dog chit, place it on his porch, light it on fire, then go hide in the bushes and laugh your a$$ off when he opens the door and stomps on the fire, thus spreading hot chit all over his tassled loafers.

Today is just a #5 sort of day, I guess...

Sorry.
