It would carry more weight, but it wouldn't actually shut you up.
You'd find a way to somehow justify being an offensive jerk.

Using Greg Rose is a self-serving example and anyone who reads this
group knows why so I won't have to explain it.

Hint: Greg Rose is a class act who never talks smack about *anyone*.

Every other significant poster in this group, with the possible
exeption of Fluhrer (and he doesn't count because you are just a
flyspeck on his fast radar) has, at some point, made a reference,
sometimes without actually naming you, but definitely referencing your
impolite disparaging style. Most of them advise the person who is
being attacked, or the person who is resonding to your mean-spirited
attacks on someone else, to ignore you because there is nothing they,
or the person being attacked can do about it. It is the only good
advice they can give without being offensive themselves.

That doesn't mean they approve of your actions, merely that they are
resolved to endure them without letting on that it bothers them.

They put up with you because they have to. To do anything else would
require varying degrees of unpleasantness on their part.

Truth? You can go back into the archives and see that it is truthful.

By being an f'ing retard yourself. TSD the f'ing retard gargoyle at
the sci.crypt gate. Not needed. We're smart enough around here to
figure it out on our own without being subjected to your bad breath.

This is the funniest thing anyone has said all week. You're full of
*** and that's the nicest way to put it.

MKS is buying a house in trollville and you love the sound of your own
voice too much to avoid going there yourself.
