Oh, so calling someone's state a "hick state" isn't a personal attack?

I really wish you'd publish this stuff in a manifesto you can point us to.
You're not terribly consistant on what content you'll complain about and
that which you'll defend.

Funny... it seems to me that both of their posting frequencies has gone way
down from what they used to be.

Looks like your work here is done.

I was just contributing because I thought it was all so stupid. I mean, if
you're going to insult someone, try picking on something that a) you(r
state) is entirely guilty of and b) that's actually funny.

I'm sure you know the old adage, John... "Never offend people with style
when you can offend them with substance." 

Personally, I always go for the latter when I can.

Later,
Paul
