I needed to verify that you weren't a sock puppet for
a neo-con who's a *lot* meaner than you.

You only just encountered me. What makes you think you
have any idea how mean I am?

Not all conservatives are neocons. Contrary to popular
belief and careless usage, the terms aren't interchangeable.


What's a "hoop." Are you saying that I'm asking you to
give me somthing to screw you with?

No. I'm saying that you're asking me to go to a degree
of hassle that's unreasonable under the circumstances:

Jump through hoops (idiomatic): To put forth effort for
the sake of appearance or demonstration. "They really made
the salesman jump through hoops before buying anything."

Etymology: reminiscent of a circus animal performing tricks
by jumping through hoops.

In other words, I don't know you from Adam. You don't even
post under your actual name. Why should I care whether or
not you believe what I have to say?
