In other words, drieux is saying that childish name-calling is a perfectly
acceptable part of USENET discussions.  I guess the notion of "Net
etiquette" is not accepted in all quarters.

drieux seems to have conveniently forgotten every posting of mine on the
subject of evidence for live MIA/POW's in Vietnam.  (Not to mention the
evident falsity of my "maintaining the party line", as I am not a member of
any of the parties in question.)

Of course, I never said this in any form, but far be it from drieux to
worry about quoting me even remotely accurately (because it's apparently
much more fun to just make things up).

So drieux makes up a lie about "insulting behavior" on my part, then gets
to yell at me about it.  Make-believe is such fun, isn't it drieux?

More fabricated insinuations.  drieux, you do have quite an imagination.

But I believe you are getting just a bit emotional now.  (In fact, you're
so upset that you've finally figured out how to use that pesky <Shift> key
properly.)  Perhaps having your little games exposed one more time has
finally hit upon a sore spot? Perhaps now you'll figure out that if you
don't cut the shit, it will continue flying back in your face?

I haven't mentioned anything about "family"?  Who is ranting on about
"family"?  I think you have deeply confused yourself.

And I never expected you to regress so far back in maturity as to start
making jokes about peoples' mothers.  Let's see, this is behavior typical
of maybe fifth or sixth graders?  Wonders never cease.
