I am, after a...Yes, it would be a smart-ass remark. I am, after all, an ass, so it would be reasonable of you to expect me to behave as one.<br /><br />It was meant as a joke. A crude, bio-nerdy joke, admittedly, but a joke. Sorry if that wasn't appropriate in this thread, but I don't think it quite merits the straight-up "you're an ass" that it got. Particularly coming from someone who apparently knows me (from the handle), but refuses to attach their name to the shots they're taking at me (not that the handle doesn't narrow it down a bit).<br /><br />And I like the URL. It's very, "fuck you, fuckface". <br /><br />Ahhh... wonderful opening to our discussion on politeness in internet debate.<br />JJ: sorry to have opened this can of worms and sent that south so quickJacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195437461989719529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785387207570374478.post-81323528539321891002011-05-20T09:38:48.488-04:002011-05-20T09:38:48.488-04:00What if they are doing stem cell research?
