I’m so offended by this thread I think they should ban everyone of you.

**Ryujin** , I’m offended by your username.

It sounds vaguely Japanese, and I don’t think you are. By appropriating a Japanesish name, you’re disrespecting the Japanese. By disrespecting the Japanese, you’re disrespecting _all_ Asians.

My mother is Indian, which means you are displaying blatant disrespect for ME with your username.

I demand that you change it immediately, you insensitive bastard.

For the record, I almost never call for the banning of people who offend me.

It’s more fun to mock them.

Maybe so…but it’s more fun to wait for them to get banned and THEN mock them, especially because then you can also mock them _for being banned_. And the best part is that they can’t defend themselves! It’s a win/win!

Don’t tell me - let me guess - that SUV was driving the speed limit in the fast lane. And not using turn signals. And tailgating. And the baby was circumsized.

I grew up in the 80s, and the fact that you’re offended by 80s references offends me!!

Oh my God…LIFE is offensive!

- Had to get the Bloom County reference in FIRST! And it’s from the 80s!!! So EAT IT!

I grew up in the 80’s too!!! And Robert Anson Heinlein is one of my favourite author’s and the fact that **you** _stole_ one of his character’s name has me seriously pissed off!!!

Please disregard the previous post if you are in fact the **real** Hamadarling

And the fact that the “show your signature” option is on by default, just because my bank needs four lousy days to transfer money to my PayPal account, has me literally foaming at the mouth!!!

I have this handle **because** of Heinlein! And YOU have stolen YOUR handle not only from HEINLEIN, but also from DOYLE, and should be wracked with guilt and shame! So don’t you DARE go pointing fingers at ME! I’M OFFENDED BY YOUR HYPOCRISY!

The “show your sig” being on by default is irking the crap out of me, by the way.

But everyone knows '02 was a much better year for white whines pun intended.

And **Hamadarling** , RAH stole it from Sir Arthur, so I’m only stealing by proxy. Plus, it seemed like a cooler name than **Manny** , and **Wyoming** is a girl, which I most decidedly am not. I guess you can tell “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” is my favourite Heinlein. You’re right about the signature thing though, I forget every time. Thank Og I preview!

Furthermore, the SUV driver was childless by choice and the mother was considering day care…
