I’ve seen too many Protestant-bashing posts here on FR which issue comparable insults in earnest.
I’d have taken the “zombie” comment as humor, but for the frequency of its use in just a few introductory paragraphs. A slap on the back may be friendly; a slap on the back, face, chest, rear, shins, etc. in the space of a few breaths is not.
