(...) For .admin.nntp: LUGNET has to abide by certain societal restrictions for the sake of liability. In that sense, John's perfectly right. For .o-t.debate: Screw them! Parents withholding what it means to be human by shielding their kids from (...) (20 years ago, 23-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp, lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

(...) Look Jason, I can't help it that you're wrong. I can't help it that you grew up in an abusive (if only mildly) environment.

(...) They tried, they REALLY tried with me in school. But I'm more stubborn than any teacher I've ever run into, and my left-handedness won out ;-) Then again, I can write semi-legibly with my right hand if given time.
