Get the Wrong mug.

Hym "I feel like that last one was wrong... Too crude... I don't think I framed that properly. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you are creating the 0 sum game that you don't want people to play. And then when someone (INEVITABLY) plays you throw your hands in the air in shock and say 'Oh no! WhAt CoUlD hAvE eVeR cAuSeD tHiS tO hApPeN!?'. I mean I'm repeating myself at this point. And part of the problem is the arbitrary non-association out of spite or malice."

Iam "And MY question remains unanswered. Am I the good one or am I the bad one?"

Hym "Well, that depends on whether or not you resign yourself to a life of serfdom and fade into obscurity. Like Gods punishment in 'Supernatural' after he loses to the Winchesters."
