As the submitter of the paragraph in question I just want to say that you
are way off the mark. The "Once again ... rotteness" quote is a paraphrase
of Maxwell Smart's ("Get Smart") usual comment at the end of a successful
encounter with Kaos. I was trying to be humorous (obviously with little
success) by parodying the typical reaction of a rabid sports fan
(associating their team with Good and all others with Evil).
I would think that the basic silliness of the comment would indicate that.
