[Frank O'Connor]

The usual Vic response ... how could I have been so naive as to think 
that perhaps he'd changed?

Same tired old arguments, same tired old opinions, same tired old 
biases ... and then the reversion to insult.

I was quite impressed with your behaviour for about three posts, 
Midget Mind ... but as usual you revert to type.

Hey, if you're gonna insult someone you could at least be original 
and creative, use SOMETHING (ANYTHING!) other than your tiresome 
'lefties', 'communist', or other appellations? Your insults are as 
monotonous, irksome and mind-numbing as your incessant and tedious 
views on the limited number of topics that your single neuroned brain 
is capable of sustaining.

You're always talking about your inferiors, Vic - but nobody has ever 
been able to find them.

Now whilst it's always interesting to see on what you bias your ever 
so meager number of opinions, we're all tired of you setting yourself 
up as goalie for the dart team. I mean ... you're not even a moving 
target, Vic! (Indeed, it could be argued that you don't have the 
intelligence to move.)

Face the facts, Old Son:

You have all the brains God gave a duck's arse.
You have an IQ one point lower than it takes to grunt - you are 
language challenged.
If intelligence were taxed - you'd get a rebate.
You are living proof that nature does NOT abhor a vacuum.
You suffer from Clue Deficit Disorder.
The wheel may be spinning, but the hamster is dead.
There's a whole lotta chopping happening, but no chips are flying.

You're about as much use as a nuclear powered computer controlled 
intercontinental ballistic duck, Vic ... You add nothing to the value 
of a debate. mail list or discussion.

The mere idea that you have kids is horrifying ... I can only hope 
that Darwin was wrong (and that genetics proves to be a 
flash-in-the-pan theory). Mortgages ... well, I also hope yours is a 
huge one Vic ... maybe it will take your mind off the limited subset 
of ideas that seem to obsess you and annoy us so much.

In the meantime ... put a sock in it for a while, hey? Nobody enjoys 
seeing the weak and defenceless suffering as you are.
