I'm offended and insulted that so many people are spending so much damn
time being so damn offended and insulted by so damn many other people.
Therefore, to those of you who are standing on soapboxes and denouncing
one another while being offended at being denounced, let me say this:

When you stand on your soapboxes and pose heroically, I can see up your
kilts.  And believe me, the sight is not as impressive as I think you
hope it would be.  It's pretty insulting and offensive, too.  So, for my
own peace of mind -- and we all know what a delicate mind I have --
please, please, please just give it a rest or take it off list.

And please think a moment:  if taking it off list just wouldn't be
satisfying, then that might very well mean you're no longer trying to
persuade the other person & you're just playing to the gallery.  Well,
this member of the gallery doesn't care anymore, and I suspect the same
may go for others.
