You obviously have no idea the hilarity xkill can bring when used
on someone who is writing say... an assignment... :)
It was funny. Honest. Must say tho. It does prove though that when
profanity is required even the meekest of voices can be quite powerful. :)
I've, ofcourse, never done such a thing to anyone.
Nor have I run xmelt or xsnow on other peoples X terminals because
that's just naughty and gets them annoyed even if the odd newbie DOES
shit his pants. :)
And if I were to have done such things in my past I'd be MUCH more mature
now... :)
