   Neidork is convinced that I've fucked up several times in this flamewar (i.e. his 'chickens are asexual' posts). I challenged him to compile a list of my posts in which I've fucked up as badly as him, or even at all. Three times, I put forth the challenge, and three times he ignored it. ¶ Guess what..... ¶ SPNAK.

   This is Usenet, you may do whatever the fuck you want as long as it isn't illegal, spamming, trolling, or violating your ISP's TOS. One must be prepared to defend him himself or be "SPNAK-ed" from the group.
