   A) You need to learn the difference between verse and prose, which makes   
   you a moron.   
      
   B) You're cherry-picking, which makes you a weasel.   
      
   C) In the context of your own premise, the above example is completely   
   irrelevant, which makes you insane.   
      
   None of which, of course, are your /real/ problem, which is that you're   
   nothing but a fanboy who was disappointed when his idol didn't dance to   
   his fantune. Like many another such fanboy in such a situation, you've   
   simply gone rabid.
