Tirade that by some simple Googling, numerous cites in support of the OP’s position can be found. [l[List of aproximately 10 links, two of which are simple restatements of things already mentioned in the thread, one which actually hurts the OP’s case, and one of which is a 404]](http://http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152653&pagenumber=2) Suprisingly decent paragraph of supporting evidence for OP’s position. Concluding sentence for paragraph contains a glaring “Complex Cause” Causal Fallacy, however. ---

Exasperated rant at **Attrayant**. Defensive posturing about not having tried to dig up flamebait from other threads in the OP’s posting history, unlike others in this thread. Suggestion that **Attrayant** focus his attention to the flamers. Threat that if this poster’s contributions to the debate aren’t shown the proper appreciation, this poster will flood the thread with scatalogical-oriented posts, in hopes of attracting **lieu** to give everyone a real gross out. ---

Inchoate, babbling fury that anyone would think that A can be compared to B in any way shape or form!!! Take potshots at mods and call everyone who disagrees with me a retard. Shortly become so agitated and filled with steaming anger my bowels can no longer regulate themselves and I soil my pants. Make smug parting comment. ---
