Quote - Oh, c'mon, folks - get over yerselves. You got your chain yanked by an amateur writer who managed (most likely by accident) to pull off a bon mot for once in his (to now) obscure career. I mean, think about this... even the cheesy pun-based 'nym (y'all know what Mental Ray is, right?) should've given that away.
Uh yeah, duh, I knew the name was a pun. I don't need twenty people to tell me that or that the column is meant to yank people's chains. I get the humor. I thought the conversation had been pretty civil and had moved beyond the comments made in the article. I know some people think we are beating a dead horse, but they are free to leave the thread and find something they find more interesting. But then some people desperately need to make condescending comments to others to make themselves feel superior.
