I am a mystic.  I often wish I weren't...

Mysticism: a doctrine of an immediate spiritual intuition of truths believed to transcend ordinary understanding, or of a direct, intimate union of the soul with God through contemplation or ecstasy.

So what has happened to Pat the Rat and Bulldyke Mary, and to many others, is the result of taking me on.  You may believe me or disregard me when I say that other forces are at work.  Attack me at your peril.

I didn't ask for this.  

It is what it is.
