you are an intemperate few - I have noted no great rush to pile on to your 
defense - I have noticed your incessant attempts to annoint yourselves as 
spokesmen for the 'silent' masses

note - I have not attempted to defend Karl in most of these discussions - it's

ruins my argument in your intemperate brains - it was not you I hoped to 
convince - you, in particular, have used some rather nasty formulations and 
lame attempts at sophomoric humor repeatedly in your attacks, so, you are the 
on the receiving end now - you chose to respond to me, I assume you don't 
like it, good!
