- "I see" - often used as a figure of speech.
- Why in another newsgroup? *YOU* dragged it into this one.
- Perhaps *you* should figure out that if extreme funnymentalist reactionaries
- want some (please note, not all, this is a qualification) gun control, and
- liberals and *some* leftists want some (note the adjective) gun control,
- perhaps there might be a groundswell of popular support for something other
- than "anyone can have any weapon they want, and be able to carry it at any
- time".

- This is what is know as satire. In it I use the same kind of exaggeration
- that you lot seem to be prone to. Consider carefully whether you have
- done the same thing, but *not* as satire.
