So why didn't Jay just say that than go off on one?

It's unlikely (touch wood) in my life I'll be a wheelchair with no legs and
arms, but I've been abused racially before and I just looked at them and
decided I was above them. Now if they were to call me a fucking ***, then
I'd still be offended, but why all this agro which Jay is giving back for
just an opinion expressed by Ted? If you can't take unmoderated opinions
without getting all wound up, then usenet isn't the place for you. He'll
meet far worse than Ted.
