Reviewing your post, you said in point 3 that the posters of fjlij are in 
the lowest 5% of some unspecified thing.  I don't know what they are 
supposed to be the lowest part of. Intelligence? Do you actually know any 
people who are in the lowest 5% of intelligence? Most of them would have 
trouble writing a message using a computer, let alone joining a Usenet 
discussion group. Even many normally intelligent or above-average people 
might find it daunting. The fact that they got here shows they must be 
reasonably intelligent.

Yet you, Shannon, despite being an apparently intelligent person, perhaps in 
the top 1% of intelligence, seem to be in the lowest 1% of common sense. How 
many of the stupidest people, the people who are in the lowest 5% of 
intelligence, the people that you have so much contempt for, would go into 
some group of people they didn't know, and start calling them names? Not one 
of them would be so stupid. Yet, here you are, calling everyone else names 
like "low-life scum" and "morons", and then in the same breath saying that 
people are rude to you.
