Ok, Jodi, Enough.  There is something not right with you - and you know, most of the time I am happy to roll with the quirky.  But this feels wrong - aside from the outlandish claims and the constant thread derailment, I honestly think that you are ill.  You are making a spectacle of yourself.  I feel bad for you.  I think that it has reached a point that for your benefit, you need a little time away to cool off and do whatever you need to do.

Hey, it's alright, everybody can stop feeling guilty.
It appears that *I* destroyed REM.
Yep, all my fault. I never knew I wielded that much power, and I certainly didn't mean to destroy REM but  Jodi, the fount of all wisdom has decided it was me.
Sorrah.

I am a firm believer in R.E.M. but I am not a believer of people who have dangerous obsessions with R.E.M. members.
