I think you suck.
Vulgarities are for those who wish to bash their arguments into others,
rather than using he rapier of intellect. To quote a friend of mine,
"Knowledge is power. Language is torque." Here you have powerful
language, but little logic to back it up here. Now...if you had given
your reasons for objecting, such as the fact that Ranma is, for all
intents and purposes, being molested by her own father, then you make
your point. (BTW, Shadow Dancer, I do think you've gone a bit far
there. Glomping is one thing; the hotel another.) However, by simply
insulting Shadow Dancer, you not only close off your audience, but you
make yourself appear more the fool for using such useless language.
I did not write the original message. Someone's broken into my account
here at school and is seriously screwing with my mail.
