There's a great scene in the novel _Marathon_Man_ in which it is
described how it isn't always necessary to overwhelm a seemingly
superior opponent in order to defeat him. Goldman gives as an example
how a lesser basketball player could make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar miss a
shot simply by giving him a nudge at just the right moment.

Of course, Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest players of his age. Some
goof claiming to have superior credentials in philosophy and law, but
who spends 12 hours a day playing a brainless and ****witted "zen game"
in Usenet, certainly isn't a formidable intellect or a demonstrably
superior opponent, and it doesn't require much of a nudge at all to get
him far off his game. It was fun being the one doing the nudging
anyway.


Preparing to run away?

*You* ran away, fat boy. "Crushed", indeed!


Can't you boys take this over to alt.teabagger.palin.is.a.dumfoch?

Spoofer alert! I surely wouldn't be one to talk about people posting off
topic things.
