Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Smokers Are Scum, a gentle song
If I had insulted anybody I would be apologizing like crazy. Apology does not seem to be common currency here, and I recognize how valuable that might make it to this group. I've been accused of all manner of things by your frequenters, including falsely pretending to be other people, promoting the assault of perfume on unsuspecting allergic sufferers, but I have insulted none of them, and none of the people who mischaracterized me or tried to personalize the discussion or drag it off topic are being encouraged to apologize. Which is fine with me. Getting my life threatened by smokers for requesting that the observe the smokefree fair policy has made me tough, and certainly produced one of the funniest songs I've ever used in public. I've continued the discussion in the interest of assessing just how poorly informed they are about both tobacco policy and irony. You may not realize it, but the nonsmokers outnumber the smokers, and they are laughing at all of this.
