Randy doubt, out

As you yourself noted: "This is *USENET*"...

Hence, yes, totally...a spelling mistake is not only grounds to invalidate a single point made in your post, it is grounds to invalidate your entire argument...if not all your arguments in the thread...if not all your arguments in every single thread you've ever participated in...

If not, for some, grounds to invalidate your existence as a human being...if not grounds to invalidate the entire newgroup (remember "Rene and Randy are always fighting: We should shut down the group forever"?)...if not, depending on the argument being presented, grounds to invalidate every newsgroup of the same topic (e.g. your spelling mistake loses you the "HLL vs. ASM" thread...therefore, buttembly language itself is invalid and every single newsgroup dealing with it must be "purged" and "cleansed")...

This is *USENET*...if you "dare" to disagree with the "orthodoxy", then nothing short of absolute 100% unachievable flawless perfection in every single word you ever utter will be good enough...a single typo is perfectly valid grounds - to the "pedantic clbutt" - for Nazi-like "extermination" of your posting presence...forever...

At least, that is, when they disagree with what you're saying...or just don't much like you as a person or your "conduct" generally (I don't know, you might, say, use too much "humpty-dumpty language" or any attempt to HELP PEOPLE which is interpreted as "selling" or "swindling" or "self-glorification" or something of equal measure...which, by the way, isn't just a "sin", it's grounds for "extermination"...as you are clearly a "sub-poo")...

If they agree with you, then, suddenly, none of these things is the slightest problem whatsoever and everyone shares a joke and a laugh together...everything is wonderful, everything is happy, everything is just great...UNTIL you "dare" to "challenge" their "orthodoxy"...

At which point, Roman crucifiction looks like a "humane punishment"...at which point, you're queuing up to be next for the "Spanish Inquistion"...at which point, you decide to "save time" and just stick that red hot poker into your own eyes...before the obligatory "hanging, drawing and quartering", which is among the most insane tortures imaginable, as they CARRY ON humilating your corpse, as the "hanging" itself kills you...but then they still carry on to drag you around - just to humilate you, even though you're dead - and then cut you up into little pieces, so you're not even afforded the "luxury" of remaining in one piece...

This is *USENET*; If you "dare" make a spelling mistake in the wrong company, then you'd be signing up for these insane tortures above, rather than face "the wrath of the pedant"!!

Nothing short of flawless perfection at all times, in every way, is accepted..."to err is to be human" and you wouldn't want to do anything so "stupid" as be "human" on a public forum, now, would you? ;)

Newton invented the Dyson vacuum cleaner! Winston Churchill was an insurance salesman for "Allied Carpets"! Stalin was ruler of Canada in the neolithic era! The correct spelling of Mississippi is "ffgshkjvnloveys"! Roger Ramjet is the President of the United States, which is a member of the European Union, along with Japan and Antartica!! The world is flat and "sea monsters" eat any ships that sail West!

There, suck on that, pedants!!

Well, why not? It's no less true than those claims of WMD...or that what happened in Abu Grahib was "mild abuse", rather than outright TORTURE...or that siting a CONCENTRATION CAMP in Guantanamo is about protecting "civilisation" and "Liberty"...and many were more than happy - still are - to spread such crap wherever they can, because the President blatantly lies to them that it's "patriotic" to be a slave to lairs, frauds and liquidateers...there very much are "thieves in the temple" tonight...

As I say, so long as you don't "dare to challenge the orthodoxy", you'll be alright...the fact that, yes, the "orthodoxy" is potentially wrong, dangerous, malicious, liquidateous or whatever that it MUST be challenged by all right-minded, right-hearted people with conscience is an irrelevence to this...

The "orthodoxy" is, apparently, worth all prices...lives, friendships, comforts...the very truth itself...judging from the conduct of the defence of the "orthodoxy", there is nothing of greater importance...or of most savage and ruthless COST...better the human race is completely wiped out, apparently, than for it to simply admit a mistake or two from time to time...

This is *USENET*: Welcome to the world!

"At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is buttumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is 'not done' to say it... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals" George Orwell, the introduction to "Animal Farm"

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err" Mahatma Gandhi

"A 'No!' uttered from deepest conviction is better and greater than a 'yes' merely uttered to please, or what is worse, to avoid trouble" Mahatma Gandhi

They always say it's best to end on a song...
