This is actually -Magi- posting for --Pete.
--Pete requested that I let you all know that he is very ill [right][snapback]68976[/snapback][/right]
i KNEW it!! i KNEW it!! Just a month ago or so, IIRC Pete said something about being nicer and NOT flaming the obnoxious first time posters... WTF??? that is NOT Pete. Pete taught us that such posters deserve no mercy mostly because we are damn well sick of them. I know this, because he and I "met" in 1997 having a flame war over this very issue. Be nice!, I said, they know not what they do; forget it, he said, stupidity is stupidity is stupidity and I [Pete] won't stand for it. We continued to disagree about this, but over the years I started to agree with him -- flame on, flame hard, don't let stupid crap even stand a minute, kick the bastards where it hurts, in the ego.
but NOW! ... NOW! ... I see what happened... I thought Pete was getting weak in his old age, that as his bones got brittle and his eyes clouded up, he lost most of the fight in him-- but you know what it really is??? The turkeys have got him down!! He has been battered and swarmed by idiots for so long that his bitterness has been cut and his wit has been Quayled. We CANNOT stand for this! We CANNOT let stupidity Win The Day! THE IDIOTS MUST NOT WIN!!
So... so... each of us ... EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US who can ... we must steel our resolve, roll up our sleeves, and start battering stupidity as hard as we can! Our epitome of anti-idiocy has tired, and now depends on us to finish the battle! DIE IDIOT SCUM, YOUR CONCLUSIONS ARE NOT RATIONAL AND ARE BASED ON FALLACIES! DON'T COME BACK UNTIL YOU CAN MAKE LOGICAL INFERENCES!!
ok, I'm a little rusty at it, i've been lurkin' a looong time
Go Pete! ... and then return.
