Quoting ARLO J BENSINGER JR <ajb102 at psu.edu>:

Disagree with Arlo and you are accused of "atrocious rhetoric" -- yet another
example of "critical thinking" from the master of slurs and invective. Mention the
the fact that anyone prevented from owning property is a slave and the wrath of
Arlo will descend upon you.

Platt
