A declarative subject line stating that I am outraged about a perceived injustice

[MrScorpio]

An impassioned narrative, outlining my perspective on a recent event or events, holding people that I judge as responsible for this injustice in contempt and an appeal for empathy for my particular point of view.

A point-by-point compilation of the situation in question (as I see it), I may or may not include links to various internet sites in order to corroborate any justification for my stated outrage.

References to other threads.

My conclusion, coupled with a bold challenge against prospective differences of opinion.

Appropriate smilies.

6. Statement that perceived injustice is necessary to ensure desired outcome.

Excuses for the perpetrators.

13. Suggestion that perhaps there is a balance

But uncertainty where it lies, and some preliminary thoughts that should be weighed in reaching a conclusion.

17. Protestation that the potential consequences of not achieving desired outcome

are much too severe to take any chances.

Declaration of MY willingness to tolerate perceived injustice, as long as it leads to desired outcome.

Expression of bewilderment that anyone could disagree. Questions about the motives of those people.

7. Kneejerk reaction to said perceived injustice.

With a few personal attacks.

And throw in a few strawmen.

11. A flaw in one of the assumptions of your argument

And a suggestion you examine that assumption with references you were not aware of

A challenge for you to think it through more deeply.

A Socratic question?

[petronius]

14. Backhanded compliment about how your post is rather well-constructed for someone with such

ridiculous ideas.

Vehement refutation of your post, based on flawed assumptions, incorrect facts, and a wild misunderstanding of your argument.

Vicious insult.

Waving smiley.

15. Veiled reference to the mysterious disappearance of Grovelbot,

denying any personal involvement therein, thus inviting speculation about the need for such denial.

[Jim Sagle]

16. A circular and vacuous comment about the utter uselessness of meta threads.

Indignant tirade against the inappropriate use of smilies in such a serious post.
