Original message
Absurdly provocative post related to controversial wedge issue.
Ridiculous portrayal of complex situation in Manichean terms.

Outright condemnation of all those who might be in disagreement.

Sour-sounding rallying call to all those in agreement.

Calling out dissenters in threatening, bullying tone.

(it's late and I'm bored.)

2. Outraged howl of indignation!
Well argued refutation of poster's argument. Clumsy analogy followed by emotional, yet inapropriate reference.

13. Suggests in strong terms that poster may favour right-wing views an
prefer another popular American political bulletin board. Makes pitiful plea for poster's immediate expulsion. Suggests poster may want to auto-satisfy themselves sexually.

23. How dare you? Diana was clearly killed by MI5!
She was pregnant with Dodi's baby and converting to Islam, and as many national governments can hold as many independent investigations as they like, but they can't change the facts I've just made up.

33. Disagrees. Holds down caps lock.
ASSERTS THAT YOUR ARGUMENT IS ILL-THOUGHT OUT, AS IT MAKES NO PROVISION FOR HITLER'S RETURN FROM AGENTINA TO KILL JFK AND DELIVER ELVIS TO THE LIZARDS.
PATCHES UP HOLES IN ARGUMENT WITH RIDICULOUS STRAWMEN INVOLVING UNLIKELY ANECDOTES FROM APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA. COMPARES ALL AND ANY OPPONENTS TO STALIN, HITLER, AND LOUIS THE FOURTEENTH. BUGGERS UP THE ROMAN NUMERALS AND ENDS UP REFERRING TO LOUIS THE TEN-FORTY-NINTH.

17. Starts off by agreeing with OP
but begins to insert references to "Israel" and "Mossad" involvement.

Begins to divurge from original poster's argument into a conspiracy twist of his own on the basis of thinly-disguised anti-semitism.

30. Declare myself a heroic sherlock holmes-like figure
For making a bunch of wild guesses some of which turned out to be correct. Assume that given I'm the world's greatest detective, all my other conclusions must be correct and Britain is indeed a fascist police state.

35. Outraged declaration of faith in probity of British police
Edited on Sun Aug-28-05 04:31 AM by evermind
Recoiling in horror at the thought that bobbies could even have looked unkindly at an innocent member of the public, except for very good reasons.

Sly hint at unprovable guilt of Birmingham six, through personal knowledge.

Emotional and inflammatory rubbishing of posters questioning the veracity of witness statements showing the police acted correctly.

Same for posters believing police statements showing above witness statements were wrong.

Pronouncement of unusability of certain forums considering the above; angry attack, lumping together all dissenting posters under the banner of obvious mental illness.

(Edits post to tone it down a bit before moderators catch it)

Followed by insightful but irrelevant diatribe against post-modernism.

Capped by instructions to Christopher Hitchens to fuck off and die. (That's ALWAYS relevant!) :beer:
