- Is not!

- Peeve: all these free riders who simply recycle my posts to say "no I'm
- not, you are!" Come up with your own line already. Or go back to
- stalking co-eds at Rutgers. At the very least use "I'm rubber and
- you're glue" -- that's third-grade level, which is two years ahead
- of the Rush Limbaughisms you're presenting.

-
- Parse this for me, and get back to me.
-
- Note also, the qualitative difference between flames. Mikey flames my
- sex life. Mikey knows about as much about my sex life as he does about
- stringing together a sentence in either Urdu or Swahili -- none, which makes
- him illiterate in at least three languages, including English. Thus,
- his flames are generic, and could be applied to anyone with equal
- [in]validity.
-
- On the other hand, Mikey's Content Lite posts provide fertile ground for
- flaming. And my flames of him have been based on close to 100% on things
- that Mikey himself has posted. If Mikey didn't try to make brazenly false
- claims, or make such a point of demonstrating his Dalhousie-patented
- ignorance, or try to work his way up to gnat-hood by posting an obnoxious
- response to every thing of mine he reads in every newsgroup he sees me post
- to, he'd be less flame-able.
-
- >As a matter of fact, your

-
- Now you're trying to free-ride off of everyone's flames of Steve Franklin.
-
- Oh yeah? Well you're worse than me! Ha! Ha! And if I'm worse than
- Steve Franklin, and you're worse than me, than you're worse than Steve
- Franklin, too!
-
- Here's a response for you, Dare, just to get you started: "No, I'm not."

-
- Learn what void means. The noun refers to the space between your ears.
- This isn't the noun.
-
- ObPeeve: That Dare couldn't even come up with an original thread title.
- He does injustice to his name.
-
- ObPeeve: Someone won't get the joke and flame this post, too.
