Being a regular target for Peter's bile or not being a regular target
for Peter's bile?

The second one seems obvious but may be an indication of
nondescriptiveness.

Enthusiastic disputants tend to leave off if you
stop disputing them. Or if they don't, you still
come out ahead.

Mark and I(*) seem to have taken the brunt lately, but you are likely still
trapped in the revolving door along with others.

*- which does not prove cahoots. We just happened to be in a similar
situation at the same time...if anyone is asking. Maybe you could take a
couple shifts, to give us respite as lightning rods du jour.

Sorry, guys, but I keep telling him to go bother someone else.

Now that IDiocy has bitten the dust on TO he will likely find something
else to whine about.

According to your comment above, you win either way. So what is
anybody complaining about?

That "revolving door" is beginning to assume the
characteristics of a carousel. A *big* one:

Where's the fun in that? I just love it when one lying asshole troll
complains about how nobody can hear him beating his own drum because
some other lying asshole troll is tooting his own horn too loudly. You
can't make this up, but they do.

Given the size and amount of debris output by Peter that is impossible for
our small group to clean up as a public service to humanity I would liken
the situation here to the Great Pacific garbage patch.
