Gee, Peter, I knew you had trouble keeping the ownership of attributed
text, but the problem seems to be running much deeper than that.  You don't
even seem to be able to read or understand it when it's included in an
article.

Note that Peter seems to have confused himself with Mr. Anderson, the
nematode in question.  Not that Mr. Nyikos isn't an invertebrate; he's
simply a _different_ one.

Note also that Peter continues to indulge his baffling prediliction of
jumping into the middle of a thread which he has admittedly not read.

Note further that Peter seems to feel that he is entitled to some kind of
"justification" beyond what I clearly included in the original article.  In
this regard, I would suggest that Peter is sadly mistaken.

Oh, I don't know.  You've failed to post anything remotely resembling a
"rational argument on abortion," and you're boring us to tears _anyway_.

For you to have the audacity (seven years of French, high school and
college, mon ami) to mouth the phrase "rational argument on abortion" is
ludicrous beyond words.  In the couple of months that you have been
regaling us with your idea of "rational arguments" you have simply
convinced me that your idea of rationality must diverge tremendously from
mine.

Do you still insist, without benefit of evidence, that the pro-lifers who
bombed abortion clinics were actually pro-choice advocates trying to make
the anti-abortion side look bad?  Are you continuing to suggest, without
benefit of evidence, that clinic workers are burning down their own clinics
for the insurance settlements?  Do you continue to claim, without benefit
of evidence, that Planned Parenthood is milking tremendous profits from the
abortion business?

Rational discourse indeed!  You should wash out your mouth with fuming
sulphuric acid!

Oh, by the way, mon vieux: va te faire foutre!
