That we're gullible or just easy targets?
Resistance is futile. Reactance buggers it up.
...you silly english
don't even reply. the guy is a bigot, freak, and gets his rocks off on baiting people with insults.
my suggestion on how to deal with him is to give him a poke and a prod every now and again about himself: he's a fat, bitter, redneck Arizona kid with a great ability to start arguments, but can't back them up when it really comes down to it.
oh, and he's angry about pretty much everything, which makes him a whiner. He makes himself feel bigger/better than intelligent posters on this board by not commenting on the subject at hand, but insulting the person who is making the comment. sophmoric at best.
(he's one of those guys who you might see at a software/computer conference who sits in the back, and asks questions that go on and on and makes everyone's eyes roll.)
so my suggestion is to either agree with him, or don't even bother replying. your time is better spent staring at the wall than to listen to him. think of him as the little whiney dog that won't shut up....at some point, it just becomes background noise.
It's spelt their, you inbred redneck.
Society is a complex series of balances. By the Nigerian scammers swindling stupid and greedy people, they are building up a lot of negative feedback against Nigeria. If the Nigerians cared, they would not harbour it.
/., you'd have everyone saying how good it was that they were DDoSed.
This is the same as a DDoS attack against an ISP that hosts spammers. Except that on
