I don't know much about adolescents any more, not having been one for
some decades.

But what I _do_ know about is persons who post wildly off-topic material
in newsgroups which I normally enjoy reading. If someone feels strongly
about a topic, fine, great, wonderful. Let them support it and advocate
for it, march in the streets if they feel like it. But if they feel
motivated to write about it let them do it in the proper forum. Keep
discussions in a "recreation gardens" forum to the subject of
recreational gardens. Political discussion clearly does not belong in
rec.gardens unless it involves an impingement of politics upon
recreational gardening. If the EU was deciding upon the banning of
home-grown veggies then this is the place for it but not otherwise.

Oh. By the way Billy, you really need to learn to reply to posts. The
general idea is that one replies to posts directly and not several
levels down the thread. But before you tackle that concept, clean up
your language. If nothing else, your vulgar writing labels you as one
whose ideas have no value.


As you point out, Sir, this immoderate exhortation is wildly off subject
for this newsgroup. Thank god, we have men like you here to get things
right.

My deepest condolences for the manifest shock and horror, that you must
have felt, to have your personal tranquillity inconveniently ruptured by
a solicitation for help, in a public forum, to shelter animals (animals
for god's sake) from inhuman and unnecessary pain.

You are obviously a person of great sensitivity in that you noticed the
inappropriateness of the post immediately. . . . Still, . . . there is
this gross matter of your mocking the helpless tortured animals that
appears to belie any trace of humanity in your character, Sir. I would
venture that that any of these animals, including primates, who may have
been poached from dwindling populations in preserves, to take part in
human drug testing, that may not be applicable to humans, would love and
come and enjoy the pleasures of your tranquil verdant yard, far from the
sounds of screeching pain emanating from it's neighbors cage. This total
lack of empathy, care, or understanding was what probably illicit my
characterization of you as a "twisted ****". I'm certain that with
little effort I could be quite more specific.

In as much as I have responded to you, Sir, and not the OP, it is due
the exceeding contempt I have for your character, bereft as it is of
humanity, charm, or wit. Your instruction and pedagogy are without merit
as I have no lesson to learn from you, Sir.

Your distain for vulgar* language displays your contempt for the common
man (and wisdom) and exhibits your tenuous attempts at elitism.

You are a very sad and barren example of a human being.

John Donne once said, "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man
is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." A sentiment that isn't
restricted to humanity but includes all living beings within its' fold.

You, on the other hand, boy, strike me more as a peninsula, if you take
my meaning.
