After jj complained about threats on net.politics and said he
tied known mailpaths to him to /dev/null, I commented on how this
sounded like a little crybaby.  I got this note:

First, notice his return address; one of his "known net addresses" which
he claims to have tied to /dev/null (so I cannot mail a reply).  Notice
also that such a lengthy quote was "out of context"; I don't think it was.
Advocating the disbandment of net.politics (and cutting off his mailbox)
sure sounds like cutting off disagreement to me!

I post no apology.  Sorry jj, I don't play by your rules.  Threatening
me with a legal suit?  Don't make me laugh (ha, ha).  There!  You made
me laugh!  that's ---  MAN'S LAUGHTER!

HAhheheeHOHOhhahahahahhehehHooHawHeefefifofumhahahHAHhahahhHAHAHA!

(get it?  Man's laughter?  Manslaughter?  oh, well)
