Mea Culpa

Mea culpa,

I fell for what in retrospect is fairly obvious flamebait by (title "Provocateur") Bigsarge.

His last message, however is an impressive barrage of cliche metaphors and evasive platitudes.

... "beating the dead horse"... "glorious country we live in" ... "hallowed halls of congress"... "dark damp corners"... "keep it up and keep it cool" ... "don't sweat the small stuff and everything is small stuff".

Are you quoting all of that straight out of the latest copy of Us magazine or TV Guide or whatever trivial publication of the day you use as a shield?

Anyway, I'm happy to admit you got me there. I nearly took you seriously, right up to the point where you straightforwardly said how utterly intolerant you are (see my previous posting), and then sidestepped that completely to finish the thread with a winking smilie.

Nice use of the old standby of 'we all have personal views, it's a dead horse', as well. You must be a seasoned and experienced Usenet troll. Maybe you were brought here by the attention the Cellar occasionally gets on Fark or Slashdot. (either through Tony's adverts or Tony's .sig on /.)

X.
