Some dork from the newsgroup decided to flame me.  He never responded here in email, or in the NG after I posted this. Apparently, I pissed the poor schmuck off.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Just back for a moment - I received this lovely missive today. Anyone

know who this sorry sack of shit is?  He stinks worse than a box of

smashed assholes.

 

Followups to email, please - I won't be reading for a while yet.

You know, "dear motherfucker" doesnŐt really work, as a salutation.  To

answer - yes I am.  Why do you have a problem with it?

I'm supposed to care about your opinion of me?  Considering that I don't

know who the fuck you are, as you are hiding behind an anonymous webmail

address

Huh?  Could you be a bit more specific?  Maybe quote a post, perhaps?  I'm

in the middle of a break - I'm not reading Usenet at the moment and won't

be for a few weeks, at least.

What on earth are you talking about?

I have a right to be an asshole towards anyone I like, simply because I

have the ability to communicate.  If you don't like it, I suggest that you

don't listen.

And you're an atheist.

Suuuure you are.

Short as compared to what?  And, no, I don't have many regrets, it's

true.  I fail to understand why this bothers you.

No, I'm a big fat guy.

This is news?  Bra-VO, snookums.  You get an "A".

You know absolutely squat about my mental state.

Why should I refrain when you have not?  Considering that YOU called ME a

motherfucker.

Of course, I don't believe in "profane" words.

You're starting to sound an awful lot like Arvin.

Maybe tiglath?

It matters not.

Here's another one:

FUCK OFF, you sorry excuse for a devolved orangutan.

You're welcome, bozo.

And, I hope you don't mind, but I think I'll post this to the newsgroup,

as well.

Have fun, binky.
