- Getting a reaction out of us, my dear Melaney, is dashedly easy. What's
- difficult is getting us out of the reaction.
- But I digress. Your epistle, so full of bilious, unmotivated hatred
- and gratuitous insults, very nearly moved me to tears. I dare say I
- would have shed a few, had I not had my tear ducts removed some months
- back to avoid the embarrassing incidents which kept occuring every time
- Foss announced a new and stunning disease; but I digress. Young lady,
- you show great promise. There's an element of hyperbole, a certain
- magnificence of soul, which is not quite developed in your work; but
- that will come with time. The sheer vitriol, the undirected anger,
- the misanthropic energy- that's what's important, and don't let anybody
- tell you differently. Our work is important, Melaney- current social
- conventions don't allow much leeway for actual physical carnage, and
- that makes it even more vital that each and every one of us work, and
- work hard, to perfect and perpetuate the art of verbal carnage. Insulting
- people you don't understand for absolutely no reason is a good start, and
- we are willing and apt targets, so keep practicing. The content is there;
- the style will come with time.

- Incidentally, Melaney, you could not find a list, anywhere on the net,
- which is less piss-oriented than this one, Arthur's regrettable lapse
- notwithstanding. We are, wholeheartedly and to the very marrow of our
- bones, a bone marrow-oriented list.
