	While Dishonor has a flair for workmanlike prose and has improved many a diary entry, I'm afraid Orinoco's work is out of his league. -- Adequacy has turned into a cesspool consisting of ... blubbering, superstitious fools arguing with smug, pseudointellectual assholes. -AR

	While refutation understands basic construction (as I would expect from an English student), he lacks the sufficient depth of understanding in ironic subject matters. I have seen many a diary entry butchered by his uncaring hands. However, I do admire his stories. Perhaps his best story was "Are You Adequate?", where he showed to the skilled reader that he was himself not even slightly adequate. It's like Alanis Morrisette not using any irony in that song of hers. adequacy.org -- because it isn't

	Have you testicle-owning misunderstood geniuses finished preening yourselves yet? Just wondering.

	I've always been of the opinion that the Adequacy is deficient in ovaries rather than testes. Balls of a different colour, as it were. Nathan -- Li'l Sis: Yo, that's a real grey area. Even by my lax standards.

	"preening each other." I've never claimed that I could write worth a damn. On the contrary, I find my prose stilted and turgid. It's really quite depressing. Orinoco, on the other hand, has comedic talent, and I will claim that I have enough on the ball to distinguish the talented from the talentless hacks. (Yes, that last sentence was completely intentional. Sad, isn't it.) -- Adequacy has turned into a cesspool consisting of ... blubbering, superstitious fools arguing with smug, pseudointellectual assholes. -AR

	It lasted 26 hours. That's more than a day. Then the heat got to be too much for Adequacy.org and the editor ran like the proverbial scalded dog.

	Look, I normally wouldn't put in the effort of crafting a personal response to your little gripe, as a link to another comment would be adequate, but you mentioned me by name, and were flattering, and as this appeals to my enormous, completely justified, but terribly fragile vanity, I will give you a few words of advice. You don't like it when diary entries are deleted? That's nothing. How would you feel if you managed to get your first article posted, only to see it removed? If your present fit is anything to go by, you'd probably change your name and move to a new city. But is that what I did? No. I sucked it up, damn it, and soldiered on. I tried to write better pieces, and a few of them even got published. But is that enough to make me an editor? Hell no. I might be able to string together a decent sentence once in a while, but I've got to go re-read Machiaveli and hone my political skills before I'm ready for delicate process that is half assault upon and half supplication to that inner circle. You flattery is appreciated, but you're barking up the wrong tree. Until the giant claw comes down from the sky and plucks me into the heavens, you'll have to find some other editor to butter up. © 2002, RobotSlave.

	When I butter you up, it will be only after you have exhausted yourself attempting to fight the cuffs and loosen the gag. Only then will I demonstrate how the guards used to do it. And keep your teeth clenched. It is only that that will keep your heart from leaping into your mouth and falling out onto the cold, cold floor.

	Mastercard is it?! You saucy trollop. You require taming to the saddle, I can see that much from here. And I will put up with none of the oh-so predictable moaning, gasping, sobbing, panting, writhing, scratching, screaming, biting that your sort feel entitled to in these circumstances. No "Oh, my god...oh, my god...oh, my god"... I swear to you, just one episode of this outrageous nail-digging, teeth-grinding, eyes-rolling, toe-curling demonstrations more suited to a kennel than to the games room, and I will put knots on you that you can hide behind for weeks. OK, that's all for now. Some of this was stolen from Terry Southern, but if one is to steal, who better to steal from? Don't answer that or I'll lift your chin up with the tip of my riding crop and slap you so hard your grandchildren will reel from it. And for God's sake, get the hair out of your face, don't you own a brush? Bring it to me. Now kommenzie hier mit der hosen in der hande, junge! Now you talk.

	For what it's worth, I looked over your last month's worth of comments, and the only hidden one that I found was this. I do not have an explanation as to why it was hidden; it certainly was very controversial. Therefore, I have restored it. Some of our editors are silly and oversensitive. Some of them are assholes. Some are drunks. This is why comments get hidden instead of outright deleted. It gives everybody a chance to go back and "right the wrongs" of overzealous editors. Hiding the previously-mentioned comment was abusive (IMHO.) Therefore, it is back. -- Red-blooded patriots do not use Linux.

	This clown couldn't edit his way out of a phone booth if it had four doors. His approach to 'editing' is similar in the essentials to a Manhattan doorman strutting in front of his revolving door who uses his braid and uniform to intimidate passersby.
