You're not serious right? Because even if this is the snarkiest page I've ever witnessed, it still belongs in Essay (IMHO). ThunderkatzHo! 20:36, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

No, it is a work in progress. Sorry, the snarks really should be taken out. HeartGoldCry Like a little girl 20:37, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
Cool. Just so there's no confusion, can you tell me which points you consider snark? Not to be judgmental, but sometimes (as in the swarm essay) I have trouble knowing when you're being serious and when you're being snarky. That might just be because I don't know you very well, and it might be obvious to others. ThunderkatzHo! 20:43, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
No, many people have the same problem you describe. HeartGoldCry Like a little girl 20:46, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
This article gives me a headache. Locke Random 20:52, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
It makes me sad. Damn liberals wanting to spend money on light rail and bicycle paths while infrastructure crumbles. HeartGoldCry Like a little girl 20:54, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Sorry, forgot...Locke Random 20:57, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

I'm pretty sure he's protesting via satire… he writes an inflammatory article and places it in the main namespace, against the protests of others. Satirical hypocrisy, IMO. --Linus(plot evil tech) 21:39, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

"amock", priceless.

We have let infrastructure go to hell in this country...what is a libertarian to do??--PalMD-Goatspeed! 21:46, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Well there's 200,000 cars and trucks on that bridge everyday! No wonder it fell, (~ my dear lady~). CЯacke® 21:54, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
15,000-200,000. Something happened. The NATSB will get to the bottom of it. Meanwhile, we speculate. HeartGoldCry Like a little girl 22:05, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
Lousy Canadian illegal immigrants, driving their pickem ups, ruining OUR bridges. CЯacke® 22:08, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

ACD seems a reasonable choice. Think im a hypocrite? The thought had occurred to me, although i was hardly the first person to mention that this wasn't much of an article.--PalMD-Goatspeed! 22:13, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

Nah, you're no more of a hypocrite than any other human being I know, as far as I can tell. Anyway, I am done snarking--real people were hurt and died. My apologies to those who knew people on the bridge, or were fearful that loved ones were on the bridge. HeartGoldCry Like a little girl 22:21, 1 August 2007 (CDT)

"Liberalism Run Amuck"?[edit]

Even for a blatant troll, this is in pretty bad taste. Right up there with Aschlafly's idiotic effort to blame the Virginia Tech shootings on pornography, and HE was serious. --Gulik 01:58, 2 August 2007 (CDT)
