This, for all of you who haven't been hanging out on alt.flame, is what's
known as the "self righteous" flame.  Some people think of this as a
contribution to the discussion, but, in fact, it's just as much of a flame
as Ehud's (or even Carl's) writings.  Because the poster has chosen timely,
genteel words, you may have been fooled into believing that Mr. Jensen
was not flaming.

Wrong.

Coming out in a public forum and dressing someone down for their real or
imagined behavior in a way which is out of the charter of the newsgroup is
just as serious a crime, no matter how you write it.  In fact, one might
argue that Mr. Jensen is guilty of even worse a crime than Mssrs. Gavron
and Lydick, since his posting contained no technical information at all,
while those he accuses of malfeasance at least brought out data of some
sort (even if hidden in invective which Mr. Jensen's mind cannot sort
from content).  

If Mr. Jensen wasn't a brain dead slime breath pond scum hypocrite, he
would have sent the message directly to Carl and Ehud, and saved the
rest of us his mindless mumblings.  Damn this pisses me off!  IT REMINDS ME
OF THOSE GODDAM POLITICALLY CORRECT IDJITS WHO ACT AS THOUGHT POLICE GRRRR
SNORT PAW PAW ARRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE THE HELL'S MY LITHIUM?
