Go back to soc.nice or wherever you came from.  In case you haven't noticed,
this is alt.flame and the rules are a little different around here.  If oaf had
posted that message to soc.women (and maybe s/he did, what do I care?), I might
have considered it inappropriate, but around here we LIKE that kind of talk.
If you want to flame back at oaf, find something REAL to get pissed about!  The
only flames we DON'T need here are flames against flaming!  For crying out
loud.  Forget this "Oh this person isn't nice" pseudo-flaming!  Remember the
alt.flame anthem:

	IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT, GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!

Now go home!  Shit.  Good night.
