Agree, isn't this a classic example of holding the coal in your hand trying to burn the person who hurt you? And 25 years ago at that? I'll praise you for your persistence...

My grandfather in law is like this. He is on his deathbed still talking about all the people who wronged him in life. Only those people don't care and probably don't even remember. It only hurts him. A sad mean old man....

The best revenge to get on a bully is success on your part. Be better and more successful than them at everything you do. Show them that they didn't affect you at all (even if they did), move on and forgive and forget.

VP, let me be honest: this was creepy. I truly hope the "legal" things you did really were. This is a little worrisome...I just...wonder.

Anyway, I do hope you're feeling better...overall. I personally don't do the revenge thing. It doesn't matter what a psychiatrist has to say about it, I just wouldn't feel very good afterward. THAT person may have been a d*uche but I don't have to be. But I hope things work out for you and you can cheer up a little.

Yes. Who paid for this? Not your "enemy," who simply sent the pizza guy home. As for the transsexual hooker, so what? Again, dude sent him/her home and, well, that was that, I'm sure.

I don't know, I'm not getting what's pleasurable about all this.

Revenge always has unintended consequences, as you will soon find out.

Yeah.
So sad that you sunk to that level, OP.

I'm afraid that "proverb" is a lot older than Star Trek. It's quoted variously in books as early as the 1700's.

There's another saying "Bitterness is like drinking poison and wishing for the other person to die." Carrying the pain and bitterness of your early abuse hurts no one but you. It has turned you into a spiteful person who revels in the pain of your tormentor. In other words, you're just like he is now.

The OP, who is late30's/early 40's, half black and half white single male, whose mother beat and abused him and who lives in the Seattle/Victoria area, has sent images desecrating the prophet Mohammed to Muslims in the area. I believe Muslims have very harsh punishments for this type of desecration. I wonder if they are going to try to get revenge using the data trail the OP has left on the same Internet he used to get his revenge.

This brings me in mind of a quote by Frederick Buechner:


"Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you."

It actually isn't that much and those places factor that into their costs...I know, I did a ton or research on the subject. And the only people I got him in trouble with were unsavory types to begin with (ISIS sympathizers, outlaw bikers, Russian mobsters etc)
