The mayor of my city wants me to be nice to people now, even when I’m insulting them. Oh well, here goes: David B, you are a practicing homo sapiens!! For most of you guys: may you turn gynosexual!! for most of you women: may you…may all of you become like your mothers!! Oh, this is so lame… ---

I think capacitor’s just a pussy. (No offense to the female body) Sorry, but it is the pit after all. (I would do a smiley here, but again, it is the pit) ---

This reminds me of my youth, when I and my two older brothers would tease my baby brother with the sing-songy: “Brian’s got a brai-n, Brian’s got a brai-n.” We’d do it till he’d run to my Mom crying and say, “Mom, tell them I _don’t_ have a brain.” Ah, brotherly love. ---

ahhh. San Francisco. We never have to worry about our Mayor urging people to be nicer. This is the man who called Elvis Grbac a “disgrace to humanity” the day after Elvis’ father died. He’s also far more entertaining than most mayors. ---

\*\*Oldscratch \*\* please don’t take offense, but your post was so off target I feel a compulsion to insult you. You are so intellectually challenged that you missed one or two of the logical inconsistencies in Plato’s Republic !! I hope that didn’t harm your self-esteem too greatly. If it did, I apologize.

How dare you Suasponte. You have me so livid I can’t even be bothered to capitalize the second S in your name. May your mother be an old woman who has had sex with one or more men, and may your father have been the man who impregnated your mother. ---

You people better be more careful with what you say. Somebody might have misplaced his dictionary and be offended. Not that there is anything wrong with misplacing one’s dictionary. And I certainly would not consider it a character flaw nor an indication of low intelligence. Not like, say, bad typing. ---
