To the one who would offer salacious commentary anonymously...

...I think the Earl of Kent said it best when addressing Oswald in The Tragedy of King Lear:

"A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson*, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition."

*ironically (Ed.)

But if the salcious commentary was not anonymous, you'd find it endearing?

Jesus, at least he finally got you to post again.
