The moral of the story is: on e-mail lists, call bullshit directly & make
bullshit indirectly. Don't call another's bullshit in a circumloquitous
way. Be unambiguous but gentle. And manufacture your own bullshit in a
coded and passive aggressive fashion. Don't ever let anyone know for sure
you're bullshitting them. Keep them guessing.
Righteous or not, this is the path to avoiding flame wars.
