    What a maroon!  Shelly, baby, there are more than two types of people.  There is a type, myself included, that has an old-fashioned notion about privacy and self-containment: valuing it, protecting it, cherishing it.  If you and others want to Facebook your way into presumptuousness beyond belief, Tweet your way into silliness and wasted hours, and otherwise intellectually and emotionally masturbate your way through life, well on the one hand I say, have at it.  On the other hand I say: Gee, Shelly, with all the problems in the world it would behoove us all to get to productive work, instead of diddleing around with useless pastimes.  Shelly, baby, and I do mean ‘baby,’ reach deep down inside yourself and summon the fortitude to pry yourself away from the teat.  By god, what an idiot!  Ten thousand years of human cultural evolution and progress apparently mean nothing to you.  For dolts like you all that matters is Facebook and Twitter.  If for one minute I believed that even a small number of people were buying your self-serving hornswaggle I would liquidate all my investment holdings and ply the proceeds into building a backyard bunker and stocking it for the long haul.  But Shelly, you crass and obviously intellectually challenged merchandise monger, the sad news for you is that the dogs won’t be eating your slop anytime soon.  Oh, maybe a few half-starved mongrels will sidle up to the feeding bowl just to ward off starvation, but for anyone with half a brain, and I suspect even for you, the jig is already up.  Your are just one more of the parasites out there looking to make a buck, but hardly more than that, by cranking out crap-filled book.  Sorry, Charlie, but we already have had more than our fill of the vile likes of you.

    I could go on for many, many more paragraphs, but I have already stopped too low.

    Shelly, die now and bring a merciful end to your meaningless life.  And if you have no more courage for death than you do for gainful employment, then please, just shut your idiot pie hole.

    God, what a sorry excuse for a man.
