No he isn't any more reasonable in real life. An old mate of his, Sarah J.
Balfour, said he was a billion times worse in real life, and she was not
one to exaggerate.

He snipped all the *bollocks*. It's not his fault you write so much of it.

He has an aversion to your /bollocks/.

I'm very annoyed that you took the trouble to post an insult directed at
me - and yes, that was an insult, Jim, you know it as well as I do.

It's an insult by way of you attributing my behaviour to a lack of
intellect - when in fact my `behaviour' was simply complaining about
being insulted because I'd been insulted.

You insulted me twice: you insulted me by allegating I'm too thick to
understand, and you insulted me by dismissing with scorn my claim of
being insulted.

You meant all that as *sadistic* insult. Sadistic, because you know as
well as I do that you made that allegation just to get me wound up and
upset.

From that observation, we can conclude that you're a cowardly sadist who
takes pleasure from `hearing' loonies howl in pain via Usenet.

I'm sick of you nasty minded little shits taking your pleasure from
being nasty to the loony on the newsgroup - why don't you stick to
technical issues instead of winding me up, eh?

Oh, I know: it's because you're a bunch of vicious cowardly sadists.

Rowland.

Sarah Balfour has been sectioned more times than some people have had
hot dinners.

She lies about everything.

<cough>

Psychiatrists form firm diagnoses by taking the results of such tests
seriously.

Seriously.
