Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, moron.

I hope my kid's principle will not as big a pompous ass as you are. It's 
jerks, like you, who are wrecking our schools, and the sooner we get rid 
of cheese-eating, egg-sucking dogs like you, the better.

Why have I never seen you add anything constructive to the list? Because 
you know nothing, you are a non-contributor, a non-entity. But when it 
comes to filling hundreds of mailboxs with your trite critiques, you have 
no problem with that, do you?

You make me sick.
