**OP Username boldfaced for easy reference.** Quick comment discussing notions admittedly only tangentially related to topic but admittedly inspired. Query perceived flaw in logic: disassemble wittily yet concisely. Refer to ethnic background. ---

Vain, thinly-disquised hostility in the form of a sycophantic apology for previous post(s) in obvious deference to more well-spoken and glib Doper whose credentials rank just below Moderator or Administrator. Weasly attempt to curry favor by way of saccharine remarks, heavily laced with patriotic jargon and religious fervor. Random quotes from hymns and anthems. ---

Reminder to **Hoodoo Ulove** not to let door hit his ass on the way out. Pointless insertion of smiley 🙂 in a vain attempt to endow a mean-spirited cheap shot with an air of jocular bonhomie. ---

Awe-inspiring vituperative declaiming a post that no longer exists (due to removal/disappearing of intervening cross-posting troll’s remarks in a previous post that a Moderator has removed without comment) stopping just short of blasphemy and railing against all forces known to civilized man. Once discovered that the post being addressed no longer exists, this post will be referred to over and over, taking away any point to the OP. Thread will be locked and all participants will be suspended for 30 days. A seemingly innocent thread title will arrive in the annals of SDMB classics. ---

Dozens of statistics with references to Wikipedia articles pointing out fallacies in previous post by someone who misused a term from Medieval French animal husbandry. Mocking apology to OP for the need to clarify such abuses. ---
