Too late. They've already got me in their clutches.

I've noticed a lot of people suddenly become "conservative" when they
get behind on their taxes.

Is that the opposite side of the coin of when people become "liberal"
as soon as they get on welfare?

I was audited twice and both times they ended up owing me money.

"LAS VEGAS — A bankruptcy lawyer who advertised heavily on Las Vegas
television with the catch line, “That’s what I do,” has been sentenced
to two years in federal prison for tax evasion and ordered to pay more
than $750,000 in restitution and fines."

A classic. Like telling someone: "Your" an idiot.

Or someone saying "you're the stupidist person I know."

Never gets old.

Indeed. It's apparent that while many people come to Usenet to learn and
help their fellow posters, a small number come to try to feel better about
themselves by criticizing others. They'll quickly point out "you're doing
it wrong" without offering any information about alternative approaches.

You can see this tendency in threads where someone will ask "how can I
electronically limit the number of hours of TV my kids watch?" hoping for a
technical solution and instead they get "You're a bad parent, your kids are
bad, etc." responses.

We should have a contest in AHR to nominate the biggest scold. There are at
least a half-dozen posters vying for the title at any one time. (-:

That's the classic "I'm OK, You're Not OK." When confronted with a stranger,
the person cursed with this maladay just cannot rest until he discovers
something bad about the newcomer. When a deficiency is found, the "OK"
person feels better since he is now (relatively) better off than before the
meeting - he's found something to diminsh the other.

In the extreme case, this syndrome is called paranoia. Further, it is the
most difficult to cure inasmuch as the afflicted distrusts completely
anything the "Not OK" person says.
