Let's see: the pointless alliteration, the "sounds like he's not a native speaker" syntax and vocabulary; and of course the assumption that *you* know what's wrong with *me*. Didn't you write speeches for Spiro Agnew? That "malevolent malformation of reality" reaches the same exalted heights as "nattering nabobs of negativity." Hmmm, and I thought Pat Buchanan had been rehabilitated and put to work boring the tits off everyone on television. I didn't know he'd been moved to Texas (some sort of Witness Relocation effort, I assume; watch out for Liddy--that fucker doesn't forgive or forget). >If you >were a nice person, I would feel sorry for you. What's your problem? You're not at all a nice person, and I feel very sorry for you. >I have posted favorable comments about Bill, Karen, and others, >and defenses of Peter, because they were true I forgot for a while there that you possess the Truth, while the rest of us have to muddle along with the usual facts, inferences, prejudices, hopes, beliefs, conjectures, etc. Thanks very much for reminding me. See, it looked as if you were just sucking up to these people, but now that we know you were just standing up for Truth (and no doubt Beauty and Goodness as well), you are indeed entirely justified. Actually, I suppose you and Peter form a sort of team in defense of Truth and the Net As We Know It and Niceness Except When It Comes to Delivering Chastizing Blows To Those Who Really Aren't Very Nice which Peter and I must do because . . . well, because we're who we are: Jeff Duh-Daiell and Peter duh Silva: The Duh Brothers, Net.Defenders. I'm on your side, guys. Together we can stomp out Gryphonites and rudenessexceptwhenitsours and . . . no, wait, not Trish--I've got plans for her-- So you can count on me, Jeff, by and large, more or less, now and then.
