just to let everyone know that I have taken out a number of patents on
posts like the above.

Specifically, the patent involves posting in a 'damed if they do,
damned if they don't' argumentative methodology.

The patent also covers the technology of a user exorbitantly
exaggerating snippets of the source material so that the resulting cant
blows up in his/her own face under close examination.

PS for zara: No, 'cant' is not a sexual reference
