Our passerine friend’s obvious grammatical incompetence aside, you’ve got to admire his analogical creativity! See, you understated the majesty of his metaphor when you said he claimed you “have excrement coming out of the wrong end of my body.” Dysentery, after all, is not merely excrement; it’s inflammation, and ulceration, leading to mucous and hemorrhagic diarrhea. And what’s more, people like myself are said to imbibe this loathsome cocktail! Wow, I’m just in awe of the volume of insult packed into that relatively small word!

As for this corvid’s choice of operating system, sadly I must admit I think you’re right that he uses Windows. However, that’s really not saying much because Windows has the vast majority of the client operating system market. I’ll grant you that, at least for the time being, it’s a decreasing market share. Still, in terms of the average home user, I suspect Windows is even more ubiquitous among client operating systems than iPod is among music players! It’s a fair bet that most orthodox preterists use Windows, and that a belligerent hyperpreterist or two uses a Mac!

BTW, go check out the PreteristBlog for the hatemail I got since the author decided not only to insult me but also anyone who thinks I make any sense. Now, obviously insulting you for your choice in …. devices…. is okay; claiming we all have the skill level of a 7th grader is a bit over the top. I just know he uses Windows. I just know it. Harsh? Yes, but hey, you should see what pain he inflicted upon the English language. Yay for American public schools!
