Well, how would you like this one, then:

Wir haben hier schon lange die Nase voll von deinen Hirngespinsten,
Franz. Fakt ist, dass sie uns einen feuchten Kehricht interessieren,

anfangen kann. Warum haust du nicht einfach ab? Die einzige Erklärung,
die mir einfällt, ist, dass du einfach nicht alle Tassen im Schrank
hast.

We didn't herd swine together. If you write in German,
address me as 'Sie' and use my family name. Family
members, friends, working colleagues on a low job
(the proverbial swine herdsmen), foreigners who don't
master the language and small children are allowed
to address people with 'du' and their given name.
Drunkards, bullies, muggers, loonies, and so on,
use the 'du' without permission. A special case are
authorities. A policeman may use the 'du' form as an
act of deliberate deprecation and intimidation: you low
individual, I won't mind getting real close to you and
slap you in the face or punch you in the stomach, if
that's the only language you understand. Or he may
use the 'du' out of sympathy: poor chap, you are
trapped in a miserable situation, my heart goes out
to you, I would like to bend the law, alas, I can't.
You, Panu Petteri Höglund, are no friend of mine,
nor family, nor a colleague, nor an authority, nor
a child, nor can you claim the bonus of a foreigner,
as you brag to write an excellent German. Remains
the category of bully and such. Would explain your
above lines, and your acting as killrater in sci.lang,
also your ranting against women's rights, remember
your recent outburst in sci.lang.
