- Please accept my sincere apologies. I forgot that you are
- Satirically Challenged. We just get so used to being around
- people with a sense of humor around here that we sometimes
- are insensitive to those less fortunate. You will have noticed
- that Weiner did not get his feathers ruffled when I dis'd him
- with
-
- : Damnit, Weiner, you left the door open! And just look what
- : you let back in! Are you proud yourself, young man?
-
- You wrote to me that you weren't trying to sell anything. But
- you have been selling ever since you came aboard. You tried to
- sell Sadaputa's book, you tried to sell his Info-Theory disproof
- of Evolution (although, like McCarthy, we never did get to see
- what was really on the "list" that you were waving around), and
- you have tried to sell Krsna Consciousness in every post. So
- you're hypocrisy over on Sci-Math just struck some of us as a
- little ironic. Just call us cheap opportunists.
-
- But despite it all, I think I could cut you some slack, if not
- for the whining.
-
- : Why don't you try and make me?
-
- Puh-leez, Kalkirama, time to put away the things of the child.
- You're in the grown-up game now.
-
- It's so sad. You never even understood Sadaputa's Theory. I can
- see how you would feel uncomfortable when called upon to defend it.
