re: sarcasm

You have the basics down, but you're still plagued with an overactive martyr gland and the inability to see the humor in someone minting untradeable money with their own face on it. The status quo here is that EVERYBODY has to take their licks at one point or another, particularly in the philosophy thread. And you have to be able to accept ribbing with good grace when you announce yourself as the poet laureate of New Utopia.

You came dangerously close to killing the thread with the Holocaust mention. Rule #1 -- don't call people Nazis. It's the first sign you've lost the argument.

You probably got points from some people for the Bush/witchburning/Holocaust connection, though.

Edit: I forgot to use the words "Messiah Complex". There. That's better.
