Well, Ken, even guys like me can be wrong, I guess. The milk of
human kindness just flows through my veins, right? "Sweet
Ken Wolman": remember him? Let's go public, Kenny Baby. I was
off you for a while because you said something nice about one of
my children: love my kids, love me, etc. You know that stuff,
right, Dad? Or to reverse the old W. C. Fields line, "Anyone
who loves dogs and small children can't be all bad." Well, I
blew that, didn't I?
Well, I posted something to net.kids about spanking. Said that
it wasn't all that great to have to hit your kid, but it sure
beat the way I was raised: electric cords, leather belts, face-
slapping. You raise your kids that way, Kenny Baby? Ooops, I
digress. Sorry!
You see, great engineer, you do less psychological damage to
someone if the punishment is perceived as against their ass, not
against them as people. Ohhhhh, I forgot: you don't know any way
to come back at people EXCEPT via the ad hominem attack, do ya,
sweetie? Well, try to figure it out, anyway. It's good exercise
after a day of DEC and whatever you read during lunch.
So what'ja do, then, Kenny? You responded with one of your famous
bits of wit for which you're justly famous among netters far and
wide: a KINDNESS BOX. Put a kid in there and beat him with a
broom handle! You can't see him so there's no psychological
damage! What a parody! What wit! No wonder Rich Rosen loves
you so! You have the imagination of Josef Mengele! I'll bet he
can quote from the New Testament ad nauseum, too.
Best bit of all, Kenny. You posted it not to net.kids, but to
net.jokes! Whatssamatta, you didn't want to go up against the
people in net.kids? You thought ridicule of someone else's
method of discipline would have some sort of effect?
WELL, old sport, look like that private message I sent you back
in December is off, isn't it? I mean, the one where I said I
was off you. Pick a side, you once said, big boy! Okay, ace,
you're on!
I just have the horrors wondering about what kind of mind can
invent a KINDNESS BOX. What kind of a presumed father can even
imagine such a thing? Answer: a bad one.
Maybe it was a breach of nettique to post to all your favorite
haunts on netnews, but I figure all your friends and lovers out
there (whoa, I left out net.motss) should have the chance to
meet you. You are as sick and pathetic an individual as I've
ever encountered.
