It might occur to you that the above "order" is more than a little difficult to take seriously from someone who wrote, the next time around:

You are a very troubled and sick individual.

And then came this gem:

I'm embarrassed by your attitude as a fellow American and as a
fellow human being.

Oh, what utter nonsense. The only reputation or image anyone can either damage or improve is his own . The idea that a message posted by an individual can somehow heap shame upon an entire land-mass containing a couple of hundred million people is completely silly. Geez.

Grow up.

Say...if you tire of that one, we could scour some newsgroups for you and bring back a few other choice second-person-imperatives. You know, truly penetrating stuff like "get a life!" Or maybe if you tire of those, you could haul out the KILLER newsgroup rejoinder--you know: the one typically posted at the end of 750 lines of quotes-within-quotes-within-quotes, the one guaranteed to reduce the opponent to a teensy pile of quivering lime jell-o (with marshmallows). I refer, of course, to the terrifying, universally dreaded "Bzzzzt! Wrong answer." (But you would be well advised not to try this at home without adult supervision.)
