It’s great to read that post. You can see the nature of the post beginning to go from explanitory and calm towards irrational, angry, insulting and increased more reliant on the use of profanities.

Oh, it doesn’t go to irrational and angry-- it builds up tension until the last sharp dig. I thought it was a pretty good on-the-fly post.

So tell me **Montezuma** , where did you sudden grasp of the English language come from?

A) I’m no-one’s lacky (Thanks, **Ice Wolf!** We lupines have to stick together, y’know 🙂 )

B) If I _were_ going to be someone’s lacky, **Biggirl** would be on the short-list.

C) “ginger hair”? It’s weird. Is this some sort of a musical reference? The diseased utterings of a syphlitic mind? Word jazz? What _are_ you babbling about?

You remember those dolls with the freaky hair that you’d just kind of twist around and stuff? What the heck were they called…

I can’t believe someone would go this far over the edge just because his browser couldn’t display extended ASCII… Especially from someone _trying to help by telling him so_…

On the other hand, have you noticed that the population of Billy-Goats Gruff drops whenever Montezuma shows up?

I thought “troll-hunting” was a no-no as well, and I’m pretty sure being cute and all Brothers Grimm about it doesn’t make it right.

Or has Fenris been granted special powers of which I was not aware?

And apparently in Britain, people with red hair get a lot more shit for it than they do in the USA. I’m not sure why.

It’s a stretch, but I wonder if the “ginger hair” is kinda like saying “I’ll beat you like a red-headed stepchild” (which is a phrase I’ve heard before)

In any case, it’s probably time to let this one go. I think we’re in full melt-down mode. I wonder if he scared some random lady on the bus for not acknowleding him when he smiled at her? Then found her wallet and tried to return it and…and…nevermind 😉

Um… no one’s troll hunting. I think you mean “feeding.”

Ok, this war has turned from regional to global.  
LETS all stop now.  
I propose armistice talks, to settle the dispute once and for all.

All it will take to stop this mess is a proper apology.

I _still_ don’t understand how saying someone has Ginger Hair is an insult. In fact, I find Ginger Hair alluring.

He’s being local. Saying someone is ginger is more of an insult here than in the US, clearly. It’s not a particularly inspired insult. In fact, it’s very David Brent, who Montezuma mentioned he is also doing an impression of. David Brent is a character in the excellent comedy series _The Office_, another reference you won’t get.

This is why it’s important to know your audience. And so not look like a loon.

I don’t know, [Ginger Hair](http://www.triviatribute.com/images3/tinalouise9a.jpg) can be pretty goofy looking at times.
