   You're a zealot and a stubborn, insulting one at that. You're the last   
   person who should be commenting on etiquette.

   Debating with you is no different than debating with Snit Michael   
   Glasser Prescott Parasite and Computer Guy. It's just a matter of time

   have been compromised.
