I wasn't thinking of you, but let's take a quote of yours and see which
of these statements is most applicable:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200312/msg01512.html:
"(religious fanatics - the one group that seems
more incapable of mastering spelling and grammar than the speakers of
'Leet)"
Is this about a tenet of the Christian faith? No
Is it a statement about organized religion or mind control? No
Is It a statement about a Christian's belief? No
That only leaves one alternative.
Face it. You're practicing hate speech. You're not better than what
you hate.
