"Erik Moeller" <flagg@oberberg-online.de> made me cry by saying:

Oh you horrible horrible man! My world view is based on Extropian thought, my
emotional life is hinged on it, but now you use your superior intelligence
and knowledge to expose my belief system for the hollow shell that it is.
You big bad intellectual bully you, don't you know how deeply your words hurt?
Extropians are delicate creatures, but you use cold logic to prove that all
that we thought was true and beautiful is really meaningless and ugly, and
that my life is nothing but one big lie built on a foundation of sand. Oh
the shame of it all, life is no longer worth living. I'm going to go to bed
now and cry myself to sleep.
