You guys must finally have that big snake thing working right, given
the time you've been spending around here lately... heh.

Which, lest anyone miss an important point here, doesn't mean that
his behavior was apppropriate or in fact anything less then
despicable: (i) People _can_ get in trouble on account of totally
bogus charges of racism (ii) there's still a lot of honest, nasty
vile racism out there - whining about the sort of thing JSH is
whining about here can't do actual victims much good,
crying-wolf-wise.
