- Oh, really? (eyebrows raised, gloating with anticipation...)
-
- Anyone who has the slightest grasp of what the terms "clutching
- at straws" and "spitting into the wind" mean will recognize in
- *this* statement the deadly symptoms of the PC virus, and will
- laugh in the face of the accuser, who is not even *civilized*
- enough to advance a credible, coherent argument for her case!
-
- Netters, please note: this is as good an example of the
-
- ************************************************************
- Politically Correct = Mentally Incoherent
- ************************************************************
-
- condition as we are likely to get in this newsgroup. It is
- also known as AIDS (Acute Intellectual Distortion Syndrome).
-
- "Quick, get the PC Virus Vaccine Program! Hurry! Aieeeeeee!"
-
- You have been warned. In this group, where *I* tread, *you* had
- better be intellectually prepared to do battle. Resorting to this
- kind of condescension will only draw my ire and ridicule, but it
- will be a very scholarly ire and a *very* intelligent ridicule,
- unlike yours, which is so feeble and laughable as to earn *my*
- genuine contempt. You can pretend to be insulting, all you want.
-
- I'll let you have your little fun. After all, it's childish. And
- what's more amusing than a child trapped in her own nonsense?
-
- Oh, and by the way, next time, drink your coffee before you post.
- You'll need all the help you can get.

-
- Oh, geez, this *thing* is so itchy...scratch scratch scratch...
-
- No, I didn't mean what I said! Please don't take it seriously, I
- was just kidding! How do I get out of this %$#@% asbestos suit?
