I don't "got" you.  And even if I did, it would be no great
accomplishment. You're not that smart. However what you are is a
vindictive asshole who obviously doesn't know how nor wants to be
sociable. You never seem to have anything nice to say to anyone. Could
be frustration with your repetitive boring life.

Instead of masturbating here to relieve your frustrations, why don't
you try it in private.
