It has been my experience that a sound logical rebuttal stings much more
than a blatant offensive, filled with explicatives that require little
thought, and much temper.  I'm working on the former.  THe later is mostly
classless and seen as a last weak defense...

not that you asked me, but since you ask via the public channel...

Sometimes questions posed by more temperate minds, cause doubt and rebellion
in certain readersr, when they find the words stroke too close to home...

What's madness but nobility of soul
 at odds with circumstance?

What was missing, then, at the man's heart
so that he does not wound?  It is our kind
to wound, as well as utter a fact of happy world.

We will follow our skeletons on the girder,
