-
- Steve, it is sheerest arrogance on your part to even hold an
- opinion on relative worth of a joke. The day you can get us to
- laugh with you, as opposed to at you, is the day you can aspire
- to an opinion.
-
- Many of us *enjoy* Yarvin's posts. We find them amusing, novel,
- and entertaining. You would be hard pressed to find anyone
- who would admit to liking anything you've written, however.
-
- Even flaming you is tedious, but hey, a man has to do what
- a man has to do.
-
- >Peeve2: Geeks who insist that all bad humor is not the fault of the jester
- >but of the audience it is intended for.
-
- Geek? Oh I'm wounded. Oh, I stand in awe of the flamemaster.
-
- Franklin, If you can't do better than 'geek', then you ought to
- wander back to alt.tasteless. Don't forget the "squick me"
- sign to paste to your forehead though, at least then you'll
- have something sloshing around in your gourd.

- Has it ever occured to you to *think* before you flail your
- fingers at the 'F' key? Do you have even the barest conception
- of how *many* times I have heard variations of 'Par' jokes?
- Of what percentage of those (alleged) jokes were essayed by
- snot-nosed kids while I was still in elementary school?
-
- >>Quit being an ass.

- >Peeve4: People who insist I am related to them. I am no ass Chuckie. That
- >title is all yours. Enjoy it: it's probably the most flattering thing
- >anybody has called you.
-
- "I know you are, but what am I" is the semantic equivalent You
- scrofulous boor. When will you realise that your postings are
- pathetic, your flamage is preschoolish, and you have all the
- charisma of a scabrous wino trying to crash Chez Panisse?
-
- Again, I repeat what quickly becomes a mantra:
-
- Go away.

- Within the span of the last few weeks I have heard elements of
