You’re gonna have trouble topping this lede:

"Engineers actively participating in the NANOG email list had a rare breakthrough on a major problem plaguing nearly no one on Wednesday evening."

Topped by the savage end IMO:

> Upon hearing of the technical issue, non-participating members of an unrelated IETF mailing list announced that they would take up the charge to get a draft written to not quite address the issue and expected a completed, approved standard within the next 13 years.

Satire is fine but this 'nice' thing is really galling.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Popehat%27s%...

Popehat's Law of Goats

He who fucks goats, either as part of a performance or to troll those he deems has overly delicate sensibilities is simply, a goatfucker.

He claimed he was just pretending to be racist to trigger the social justice warriors, but even if he is telling the truth, Popehat's Law of Goats still applies.

If you say so, but you're not convincing the rest of us.
