- Oh please, how can you take yourself seriously? You sound like the
- Irish Republican Army fixing to blow up Windsor castle if the Brits
- don't leave Northern Ireland before midnight. . . This kinda threat
- makes people chuckle not quake.

- You clearly don't understand the dynamics of flames on the internet!
- Don't you see??. Just ignore the children and they will go away.
- On an adult news group they would have gone away long ago. With
- you folks getting your nickers in a twist over a couple of dirty
- words they just keep twisting 'em tighter. Well you please get a
- clue and realize that the more you pay attention the more they
- do it! IT IS FOR YOUR REACTION THEY POST! THEY WANT TO SEE SILLY
- REACTIONS LIKE THIS! Just chill and let 'em go. They'll get tired
- and go play somewhere else. Isn't this obvious?!? I don't know who
- is more childish, the coprolalia freaks or you victorian nannies that
- give them the reaction they seek. Wake up!

- Why does it sound like a joke then? Why does it sound like a terrorist
- threat in a James Bond Movie? This is probably the only news
- group where a few dirty words would cause such a nitwit reaction.
-
- Just grow up and stop trying to defend other people's virtue, tend
- to your own virtue first.
