Your posting had nothing to do with the topic at hand.  In place of a
well-written flame intended to shake the views of your opposition, you
posted a pointless article that called your opponent an "airhead
slime" and suggested he place portions of his body in a garbage
disposal.  Isn't that a bit off the topic?  Or have you lost your grip
on reality?

So, why is it that you follow up an argument with such a piece of
pointless offal?

Yes, this is alt.flame.  And here you are slapping my hand for flaming
you in alt.flame.  Isn't that a bit hypocritical?
