In adddition to your good self who's posts, for
wit and wisdom, are worth framing, that glinty-eyed 
commentator of cave diving instruction, Mr Clark
has also wielded the ball-peen with sterling
results, as in...

"listen, you drooling trailer roach, do not get on here with your farm 
stores prose and tell us about "losing respect". it is lobotomees like your- 
self that crawl out from under every rock in "cave country" that kill off any 
chance of "respect". don't make me take a chainsaw and cut your blubbering 
fat slob ass out of your wheelless mobile home, load you on a forklift and 
haul you to peacock just so i can take a cave course from you."

   "the only thing that needs to be done in a constructive "manor". gomer, is 
for you to entertain us with some more idiocy like what is wrtten below. We 
have not seen a goober like you on here is two years. This is a classic. 
Welcome to the jungle, now go fuck yorself."

Note the sparing and judicious use of capital letters, 
and the deftly delivered sting in the tail. Stylistically, 
9.8, 9.9, 9.8, 9.8. Content is just a little light so 
there it scores an 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.7. A splendid and 
uplifting performance.

I have more of these birdseye chilli posts sprinkled through 
my archives.  They deserve a special place on someone's web 
site.
