      Well, I *could* have used *your* technique - of inanely yelling,
cursing, name-calling, hate-mongering fightpicking - but then I would've
gotten flamed myself for posting alt.flame material to alt.atheism. Like
you've been.

      (As if we didn't have controversies... Hah!) Go read the newbie
intros on netiquette; they're there for a reason, y'know. And remember
to take your medication, those nice men in their nice white suits didn't
give it to you for no use...

      Us, complacent and happy? Did ya ever even READ this group before
jumping in thinkin' you owned it? Only before, we got at least SOME work
done - flaming you is NOT useful. In short, you're simply a waste of
bandwidth; there used to be at least a weak signal here before you came
along.
      Judging from that last sentence, BTW, you must loathe yourself.
That would seem to explain your postings.

      In other words, you refuse to think about other people's feelings
- like ours. Somehow that doesn't surprise me... Well, you made your
bed, now lie in it; I'll pay no attention to your feelings either. Pigs
like you don't feel pain, so it doesn't matter how we slaughter you...
Is that nasty enough for you to call it a flame?

      Well, you behave like one, so whaddaya expect?

      Coulda fooled me, bud.

      Precisely the reason I despise fundies. You trying to say
something, or are you just weathering your tongue?

      Start listening for a goddamn motherfucking change you deaf son of

Am I flaming you yet?
