- This, for all of you who haven't been hanging out on alt.flame, is what's
- known as the "self righteous" flame. Some people think of this as a
- contribution to the discussion, but, in fact, it's just as much of a flame
- as Ehud's (or even Carl's) writings. Because the poster has chosen timely,
- genteel words, you may have been fooled into believing that Mr. Jensen
- was not flaming.
-
- Wrong.
-
- Coming out in a public forum and dressing someone down for their real or
- imagined behavior in a way which is out of the charter of the newsgroup is
- just as serious a crime, no matter how you write it. In fact, one might
- argue that Mr. Jensen is guilty of even worse a crime than Mssrs. Gavron
- and Lydick, since his posting contained no technical information at all,
- while those he accuses of malfeasance at least brought out data of some
- sort (even if hidden in invective which Mr. Jensen's mind cannot sort
- from content).
-
- If Mr. Jensen wasn't a brain dead slime breath pond scum hypocrite, he
- would have sent the message directly to Carl and Ehud, and saved the
- rest of us his mindless mumblings. Damn this pisses me off! IT REMINDS ME
- OF THOSE GODDAM POLITICALLY CORRECT IDJITS WHO ACT AS THOUGHT POLICE GRRRR
- SNORT PAW PAW ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE THE HELL'S MY LITHIUM?
