That I can believe, I've never seen Leon starting flame wars here (hence

There's lots wrong with /. , and I'm not going to go into that at all.
It's far too easy for the voice of moderation and insight to be drowned
out by the clamouring BS of the great unwashed masses. And if you think
I'm being elitist, you're right. Far too many people say exactly what
they think, even if it proves they don't actually THINK.  :-)

eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
