Oh, yeah? Oh, YEAH?
Well, it is disturbing that there seems to be a growing attitude that my growing attitude that posting in a.r.k must follow some set standard must follow some set standard! How dare anyone object to my objections to their posts? What about MY rights? People say that when I tell people not to post what they post that I am violating their rights but what about my rights to not have other people's rights be better than my rights to not have their rights be right? Also it's legal and there's no such thing as Internet community, so just try and stop me!
Everyone else is very different from everyone else but anyone who tries to keep me from enforcing my standards is violating their own lack of standards about my standards which are to have everyone be one hundred percent free to be exactly the same as me in their own special way! Everyone who disagrees with me is REPEALING the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights which is international law valid in all free countries ever since it was in the Magna Carta written by Moses! Next you will start passing people on escalators and civil society will be doomed!

People unamused by my quality control need to control the quality of their own quality control! I have the inalienable right endowed by my creator code to control the quality of my own posts that come out of my own fingers that are connected to my body which is a text subject to critical interpretation and nobody can stop me! How dare anyone suggest that the quality of my posts will be controlled by anyone else's LACK of quality control! This way lies the first step along the path of every day which is a long and winding road down the slippery slope to the edge of the lip of the chasm of the abyss of TOTAL GOVERNMENT TYRANNY over ALL FORMS of ELECTRONIC CYBER MEDIA! In order to stop this from happening, I demand that all Usenet posts be EXACTLY what I want to read BEFORE I read them, because otherwise I am being subjected to the MORAL EQUIVALENT of TOTALITARIAN OPPRESSION! And I don't see any of you doing your jobs so you are all complicit!
That's why the background of this Usenet post is BLACK! It's the camel's nose and the camel has bad breath! Like in the joke about the camel, not that one, the other one! Wake up and smell the camel's nose, you naive sheep clones of the information super-symmetry! A hard rain's a-gonna fall and it will be ALL YOUR fault for NOT making posts exactly like this one TWENTY TO THIRTY TIMES A DAY, just like when the Devil played Dungeons and Dragons in Douglas Hofstadter's hometown! If you don't believe my arguments then you are admitting that they are true because otherwise there wouldn't be anything for you not to believe in!
I am free to be you and me!!!!!!!!
