Read it again, tardling.

This isn't a chat-room, tardling.
1999 October 17, Sergi, “Re: That's a Loaf Head”, in alt.gossip.celebrities[3] (Usenet):
Big words? The biggest word in there had two syllables, tardling.

Then why do you feel compelled to keep harping on it, little tardling?
2002 February 28, Allisson, “Re: Asking Where A Man Works”, in soc.singles[5] (Usenet):
Someday, when we're in the same space or at least on[sic] that doesn't provide fodder for tardlings, I'll tell you a story or two.
2002 September 4, Sharon B, “Re: Larry Bullis - We know you are reading this. Better take a look.”, in alt.usenet.kooks[6] (Usenet):
I believe *that* quote (one of many about your address) is in your FAQ, tardling.

2004 September 28, Vanilla Gorilla (Monkey Boy) [username], “Re: James you can be the GURU!! Re: ON THE WATCH OF THE ONLY BUDDHA ON THE PLANET”, in alt.consciousness.4th-way[9] (Usenet):
Since I'm very large, very white, and very hairy, I started going by Vanilla Gorilla. Seemed appropriate. Later, some tardling tried to insult me by calling me "Monkey Boy".

Anybody who is worried about what the soc.men cast of tardlings thinks, doesn't belong on Usenet... or even on this planet, for that matter.

Tell me, tardling, are you always so thorough at shooting off both your feet below the knee in five words or less?
