BOLLOCKS!!!

I am staying out of this as much as possible, Colin, because I really
can't be bothered arguing with everyone. But you more than anyone else
(even PC) are really starting to get on my nerve, if only because of
your sheer number of pictureless, flameful postings.

$ exec analyze -d douthwaite <news:alt.ascii-art

1. There is a flame war going on in this group.

2. You don't like flame wars, preferring to instead enjoy a.a-a for the
   pictures.

3. In my a.a-a feed at the moment, I count 45 messages by you, 41 of
   which are part of the flame war. In fact, from here you seem to be
   the most prolific contributor to the flame war so far.

analyze: ERROR: 2, 3 do not match!

4. You post the Troll FAQ, and say that the best way of dealing with a
   troll is to ignore him/her.
5. You are constantly posting replies to PeteCasso's messages,
   pointing out your disagreement with him.

analyze: ERROR: 4, 5 do not match!

6. Joris told Tweeter off for (a) aggravating the flame war, and (b)
   not contributing any pictures of note (either than the 'stinks); he
   did not complain about anything else.

7. You chastized Joris for being a `horrid Cassophile'.

analyze: ERROR: 6, 7 do not match!
analyze: ERROR: 2, 7 do not match!

$ mv douthwaite /dev/null


Anyway, I think a lot of this flaming would decrease if everyone was
required to post a (different) obligatory ASCII pic in each message --
at the very least, it would slow the flames down.

So, to start the trend, here's my ObAscii: the Statue of Liberty.

Rediddles welcome (especially to her face).
