>You may recall your recent involvement in an exchange regarding personal beauty and success with the chicks... how would you feel if your response was characterized as jealousy rather than as reaction to a presentation style? Just curious.
I can't remember ever being jealous of a person who would post a message on a forum like this one repeatedly telling people he was handsome and catnip to women. (though I did wonder if that were the case why he didn't use his own picture) I am rather jealous of the guys who had the pleasure of kicking his ass. Some people just bring that out in me {s}
( not sure how this relates to my observation that the current example of a prohibition of blasphemy that first poped to mind was the fear that speaking any ill of VFP's status as the-only-tool-you'll-ever-need. Perhaps your point is it is not the message but the messenger's style? If so, probably a good point )

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
