The Flamewar Never Dies by Robert Wynne Music: "The Dangling Conversation" by Paul Simon © 1998 If you will not heed what I say I'll repeat it louder still And you think you can ignore my words But I don't think you will I will shout it from the ramparts Locked in my position Like an overzealous twit You can watch me pitch a fit Full of righteous indignationAnd you all howl out with outrage How dare I break the peace Although every response to me Ensures I never cease Though you put me in your killfile Still I will be lurking On the edges of the net I won't let you forget About my righteous indignationOh, I speak things that don't matter Just to prolong the thread No analysis is worthwhile No logic's in my head. Yet I won't stop my babble I can keep this up forever My fingers never tire Of this neruotic, senseless ire Or my righteous indignation
This is the second song I wrote as a result of the Cineviews flamewar on rec.music.filk back in 1998. The other was The Gold Standard. While this was inspired by a specific flamewar, this sort of thing happens on USENET all the time. Apply as needed.
