Holy <pejorative word> <pejorative word>!
I just want to <pejorative word> state ad hominid that I reserve my
<pejorative word> right to use these kind of <pejorative word> <pejorative
word> postings for my personal <pejorative word> enjoyment, profit and
convenience. And I do not mean <pejorative word>, I mean convenience.

As long as that's clear.

PS. Further, if you tickle the devil, please do not expect he/she to gurgle
with glee. Also, do not presume to assume that wherever you go, there you
are not. Such tactics are such a sniff in the breeze they whistle no tune-it
is easy to see the absence behind them. The word idiot comes to mind.
