I just started reading the thread linked from the blog post, and it felt like reading House of Leaves. Here are some choice quotes from various authors:<p>Re Clojure: "This is a 'babel' plot to destroy lisp."<p>"Pocket Forth is a free Forth interactive-interpretor that runs fine on my Macintosh "Performa 600" (68030-CPU) System 7.5.5."<p>"The Mac is a desktop-publishing 'appliance' --- considering
that you don't have a laser-printer, a Mac is about as useful to you as a bicycle is to a fish. Besides that, you don't seem like the desktop-publishing type of guy --- that is mostly a marketing-department girl thing."<p>"I really foresee the collapse of civilization. The majority of people in America are motivated entirely by hate, fear, greed and envy, and this situation can't continue indefinitely. This is what I describe in my book, 'After the Obamacalypse,' which is included in the slide-rule package on my web-page."<p><pre><code> Another time I was sitting in my van in a parking lot. A skinny
Jew walked up to the van, peered inside, then tried to open the door
but discovered that it was locked, so he walked away. I got out and
walked over to him, and I said: "What the hell do you think you're
doing?" He also said that he thought it was his friend's van, but he
didn't apologize at all, but became prideful and belligerent. When I
said, "I think you're a thief," he said: "Look at the way you're
dressed; you're the thief!" (I was wearing a hoodie). He told me that
if I continued bothering him, he was going to call the police, and he
got out his cell-phone. When I said, "I think you were looking for
something to steal," he said: "There is nothing in your van worth
stealing!" I beat him thoroughly with my fists and left him face down
on the sidewalk in his own blood. Somewhat belatedly, be began to cry:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
