Subject: It's so nice...

...to know that someone cares so much about me and wants my attention this badly...

What's up dear...? What's bothering you... You have my full attention now...

You could have just e-mailed me directly... It's pretty simple... Johnson@FreeTalkLive.com

Pardon? Don't flatter yourself, darling. I don't want your attention, I just don't like you.

But you are so vocal about it... Did I do something to you? Is this a scheme? I mean, If you really didn't like me... you'd just... well... not like me... However, in reality, you really don't know me at all...

Supposing you actually don't like me.... If it's becuase I attack Mark viciously on the air... you know that's not real right? We laugh on breaks and go out to Bennigans and hang out over drinks or coffee...

Anyway, since I haven't done anything to you personally (that I know of) You have to be craving some attention for SOME reason, and want to shine attention on me. I mean seriously... the fact that you care so much about my presence on the show means a lot to me... Either way... If you really depise me this much... then I must have been doing a really good job... If you really like me, and are scheming to put attention on me... well... then I appreciate it and back at ya.

I'll make sure to remember you this Friday.

You've done nothing to me personally, I'm sure you're cool, I just don't like your radio presence. Perhaps the proper route would have been to offer you constructive criticism. You're damn smart, and you seem to have a great passion for Free Talk Live, maybe you could make your tenure more bearable for everyone by not being so dominating on the show.

Sorry, a lot of people like me... and you may not want to hear this, but it's likely that I will be the first (and maybe only) 3rd cohost that makes it to New Hampshire. Jason is leaving the show in a week, and Torgo has no immediate plans of getting to New Hampshire.

Maybe if you get enough people to sign that thing... I'll change my character around... but as for now... I'm going to continue being the loud, in your face, intellectual that I am. I can't help it if a few people don't like me... I can't please everyone.

I'm now off to listen to death metal covers of beethoven... http://mp3phoenix.net/en/Album-mp3-Beethoven-On-Speed/45C14E/

I'm not sure "in your face" is the correct term for your radio persona. "Loud and inadvertently obnoxious" is likely more accurate. "In your face" generally means that the person in question is witty or edgy. You are neither.

Time will tell how long your radio career will last. Would you like to place bets?

I'll bet it will last longer than your last website... YAY, I won already.

Am I done giving you attention yet? Why don't you get a tatoo that says "Johnson sucks".

You can get it right near your asshole, to remind you what opinions are like...

And I'm compelled to reply to your comment about "in your face" not becuase I care about your opinions of my wit or edginess... but becuase you are a dunt.

Merriam Webster Main Entry: in-your-face Function: adjective

characterized by bold and often arrogant aggressiveness

Dictionary.com in-your-face (nyrfs, -yôr-, -yr-, -yr-) adj. Marked by or done in a bold, defiant, or aggressive manner: in-your-face advertising; an in-your-face challenge to authority.

in-your-face

adj : blatantly aggressive; "on-line hard-boiled in-your-face pornography"

There is absolutley nothing inadvertant about my loudness, or my obnoxiousness. That fact that you get pissed off at me... Just makes me happy to know that there is at least one person out there who I get to.

Ya know.. I've attacked the Christian religion far too much on air... My problem is with organized religion in general.... I think I need to shine a little more light on Judaism.

I'd send a lengthier response, but you're only going to get sadder.

Anger about something usually comes from fear... and fear usually comes from something inside. If I, a radio personality, make you so angry... I really wonder what it is about me that reminds you of something within yourself that bothers you so much.

While I would like everyone in the world to like me... The world doesn't work that way... so when someone has a personal problem with me, yeah it makes me a tad sad... in that "oh well, some people are just different" kind of way.

You are quite obviously a person in a lot of pain, and you seem very self-centered and I do feel a sadness for you. To look at your profile I see a mostly people who are not close friend by virtue of the fact that they live across the internet from you and to look at some of your posts it's just a lot of angst...

I really do wonder what's up with how you could possibly dislike me so much, but there's not much I can do about it, and really... I mean... honestly the only reason why I wanted to talk to you is becuase to look at yourself or your posts, It's not blatantly obvious. If you were a hardcore religious freak (hey, maybe you are) then I could easily understand, but since you are not... I really have to just wonder...

I think you have no idea just how much of FTL is stuff that I came up with besides the design... I invented the AMP program, I'm reponsible for the 10,000 friends the myspace profile has... I'm responsible for the time Free Talk Live had at the top of itunes... I'll be the one running the store... I'm not going anywhere any time soon.

I think you are just kind of a sad little person to be so hateful of someone you don't know, have never met, and have no personal connection to.

Oh well. You're still young but you should calm down a bit... getting upset all the time will give you a heart attack, and make you a lonely person.

The thing you don't seem to understand is that I don't have a problem with you personally. It's your radio presence. You don't make me angry, your radio persona irritates me. I know you would love to think that you are some sort of symbolic demon in my life, but you're not. I know that you are involved a hell of a lot with FTL. I also haven't invested a large amount of time in my "effort" to have you fired. I'm simply of the opinion that you should be involved behind the scenes, and I don't expect Ian to care what I think.

You're so narcissitic, it amazes me. You don't upset me. You don't make me angry. More often than not, I agree with you.

To put it more clearly, I don't like Johnson. Schuyler is probably pretty cool.

Also, the three full years you have on me haven't given you any kind of infinite wisdom. Don't be so pompous.

Fair enough answer in the part that you separate the radio personality from the person... However, regardless of my age or my infinite wisdom (why thank you), what I said still pretty holds true and you dodged it. You ARE indeed irritated by my radio personality, (which I am adopting in written form in our exchanges here just for you) and you did (to WHATEVER extent) go out of your way to broadcast your negative feelings on the subject.

My saying that anger is based in fear and usually based in problems with the self is part of basic psychology... Irritation, or however you want to rephrase it, is anger.

You're the one who's saying she's upset my me... That's not narcissism, that's fact. You're also the one who's lavishing all sorts of attention on me. Again, not narscissism, I didn't ask for it in any other way other than being a radio personality.

I'm just curious what about my persona bothers you SO much that you feel the need to raise such a big stink about it.

Something that brings up as much emotion as it has in you stems from a personal issue... I'm just wondering what it is...

Have you shared some of these traits in the past? (being loud and obnoxious as you call it) Is it projection from a bad relationship or family member you had trouble with?

Personally I don't care if I am a symbolic demon in your life... I didn't ask for any attention from you at all in fact... The only thing I *AM* sure of... is that I am somehow have indeed become a symbol in your life. If it's a demon... so be it.. I'm just wondering why.

You project a lot of things on to me... It's just a little strange to be as irritated as you are by a radio personality.
