So you gave up when it got hard? That’s kind of what I read out of that.

That’s a very uncharitable reading.

I have made my mark in the world by exploiting the Achilles’ heels of “authority figures” (which is usually just some form of a lack of empathy). I have caused a few to fall, I’ve made others reform, and I’m just an annoyance to many others. I have trained others to do the same.

That said, I could get whacked out of existence figuratively or literally if I crossed the wrong person or group.

There are others like me, but (as I mentioned before) we aren’t always easy to find.

I know the above may seem grandiose, but I’ve had a chip on my shoulder about these “authority figures” since I was a kid. I’ve done something about it, but I also didn’t choose to bang my head against a wall and call it progress.
