little help to anyone. Bastards, eh?

Oooh look, he can't make an intelligent response but he's got to gob off and
pretend to have something to say.

But you didn't make an intelligent response either, you just tried to
waffle around your "point" being content free by suggesting the only
problem with it was folks' prejudices. The /actual/ problem with it is
it was content free.

I'm not pretending I have something to say, I'm just pointing out that
whether or not you thought you did, you didn't actually impart any
useful information. Again.
