Gee, I dunno; was the above just another insult aimed at starting a
flamewar?

Fine.  If you wish to be that way, we'll vote.  It's now 2 to 2, so
your side's got a pretty fair position.

To some people, you'd appear to have a rather cruel sense of humor.
True, no one should force you not to be amused by whatever amuses
you, but is it really worth it for the first guy to annoy a bunch
of people just get a laugh out of another bunch?

*sigh* (more flamebait...)

I seriously doubt everyone's amused.  After all, David and I
aren't.

And now we have flamebait #3.  Look, David may be annoyed by 
Zack's .sig because David is a die-hard bible-thumping
Christian who really _is_ out to censor the Net.  Or he may
not.  I really don't know.

I'm a Christian (or least, I was raised as one), and personally,
I'm not put off by anti-Christian humor that much.  Plus, as
jokes go, the ol' "rusty nails" line isn't all that bad.  What
put me off was that it was LAME.  It's like me writing a
five-line verse, and the fifth line doesn't rhyme with the first
two or even scan right, but boy, it really disses women! and
calling it a limerick.

In short, it felt like someone was trying to poke fun at a
group of people but wasn't willing to expend lots of effort.

C'mon!  Impress me!  Show me a nice big ascii picture of Jesus
wracked with angst as he's being stuck with rusty nails.  If
you do, you'll still annoy some people, but a lot more people
than before (like me) will complement you on your industry.  :)
Extra points if you can fit it in a 4-line .sig.  There's your
assignment.  G'luck, Jim.
