There is something very strange about someone who claims to be a
quadriplegic calling anyone else a coward... Would you like to
head-wrestle over the Internet, FumingTroll?

You are a liar and your mother is a slimy whore, FumingTroll.

My life is really great, FumingTroll, I am very active. What's it
like to be a quadriplegic? How people handle things depends much
on the person. My guess is that you have always been a hatred
spewing creep. If so, you might want to wax religious, there
isn't much left to take away...

You betcha. One of my favorite pastimes is keeping track of the
garbage on USENET, FumingTroll, so don't take it personally...
