It's polite to ping someone you're talking about. Please refer yourself to your post 99, and you'll see what you said. Apparently, you've forgotten.
I said this:
The pain of being boiled alive is far worse than anything you're ever likely to experience.
I think it's pretty obvious I was stating that you, along with me, my neighbors and most other members of the human race, are not likely to have suffered any physical harm to compare with being boiled alive, or to have undergone physical pain to compare with it. This isn't a controversial statement - it's also unlikely that you, I and everyone we know have ever won the lottery or been struck by lightning. I have no idea why you feel this is some sort of personal attack on you.

I refer you to post 113.
And I don’t think we need any more freaking laws to “protect” any crustaceans from any hypothetical pain.
After all, take a good look at a tick, flea, spider, or termite, or other destructive bug. I don’t care about their suffering when I kill them.
But for you, I’m sure their suffering is no less.......after all, how would it feel to be killed by poison chemicals? I’m sure you care.

I have no idea why you feel this is some sort of personal attack on you. Because you posted it to me, that's why. Next time, try that bilge on some other adult FReeper who thinks you're precious. I don't care about your feelings, either.
