I'm not sure whether to <roll eyes and massive snort>,
<play a tiny violin>, or give you a <virtual smack>
and snap "Oh, come off it!!!!" So I'll toss them all
in. That latter statement especially is
a) utterly ludicrous
b) whiningly sophomoric
c) incredibly insulting
d) all of the above
Take your pick.
I realize that the Northeastern style in
confrontational debate is much too "in yer face" and
hyperbolic for my taste, but I'm not going to give you
a pass when you say something so _totally_ off-base,
or
snipe that those who disagrees with you are
traitorously unpatriotic, or accuse others (who
disagree with you) of launching personal attacks when,
as somebody recently posted, "pot: meet kettle!"
And do not make the mistake of assuming that I support
MM - I don't like propaganda of any stripe, and danged
well ain't gonna _pay_ to go see it. <lip curl>
That direct enough for you? <tiny, amused smile>
