No, she, like I, find the best first response to a caustic fool and his
inane rantings is quite often laughter.
But if memetics has taught me anything, it is that letting the fool continue
to rant unchecked in the name politeness is an even greater folly. And
since I am neither particularly subtle nor polite to being with, I have no
difficulty labeling you as quite the fool, and your ideas as complete
nonsense that has no place on this list.
(If the list-owners feel otherwise that is their progative. They are no
doubt much more magnanimous than I.)
