I discuss
You persuade
He proselytizes
We know XP works in every situation
You are still infected by BigDesignUpFront
They believe in fairy tales
I am objective
You are subjective
He is biased
We are in agreement
You are following the crowd
They have been brain-washed
RobinWilson
I distill
You reduce
He disagrees by deleting
We have achieved consensus
You have no business to question that
They deserve to be [removed]
I just ignore it
You should have more self control
He rants on and on
We have only commented out of disdain
You may question the consistency of that all you like
They are all out to get me
I understand
You're insecure
He's out of control
We must all calm down
You never listen do you?
They left for some strange reason
I belong to the One True Faith
You belong to a religious sect
They are members of a cult
We have an open mind about religion
You are tolerant but set in your own ways
They are completely brainwashed
I Design
You Programme
He Architects (ouch!...have I got this right?)
I speak Pwoperly
You speak Plummily
He's just dumb
I Inform
You Arrest
He Confesses
We Denounce
You Enslave
They are Gone
(with thoughts of Alexsander Solzhenitsyn)
I need petrol to visit my wife in hospital
You have cut off the supply
He says you are upstanding citizens
(England September 2000)
-- JohnFletcher
I think
You don't
He can't
I am principled
You are stubborn
He is pig-headed
I strive for quality
You are a perfectionist
He is a prima donna
I refactor
You re-code
He thrashes
He spews thoughtless pap
You write without reflection
My prose is polished
