It made me stop and think for a moment about myself. I seem to be one of the very least popular persons in all of BYU internet fandom. I am roundly criticized on cougarboard. And another board formed from CG to leave my influence.
Just maybe, I am a villain. Rude, opinionated. Too negative. Overbearing. Unpredictable? I don't know.
But is that really fair?
I really vacillate on this. Maybe I'm a hero, maybe I'm a villain. Maybe I'm in between.

I like you because you're a villain. My favorite character in Paradise Lost is Satan; he steals the show. I was very flattered when you called me Satan. The worst villain in fiction is what makes Blood Meridian a work of genius. My oldest son called me a natural villain the other day. He seems to love me nevertheless.
