Some snippets from articles in our spool area for this
newsgroup/mailing list:

   ...i don't believe you can be so naive...

   ...A whole lot of rubbish...

   ...Only in your fantasy world...

   ...[Name], You are dead wrong...

   ...he apparently fails to comprehend anything which contradicts his
   distorted view of reality...

   ...[Name], pay attention...

Come now kids, straighten up and fight fair.  If you can't rebut a
point while maintaining a civil respect for those who maintain a
differing view, then please either restrain yourself from public
comment or take your rhetorical technique to another forum where it
may be better appreciated.

   May I respectfully submit the suggestion that you talk this out
   over a pint of beer or some other less public medium?

A great idea!

   ...This is what happens when such an important committee is headed
   by a *lawyer*...

Lawyers, of course, are always fair game for any sort of abuse :-)
