PJ: U-Boat Commander

As you may know I make only infrequent appearances here in this NG nowadays.
However, when I do appear in your M&B waters you risk being hit by one of my
flaming UseNet torpedos. Since I often lurk beneath the surface, you do not
know if ol' PJ is in the vicinity or not. Your Sonar will not work against
me.

Therefore the wise thing for you to do is to think twice before you make
your posts here. If they are not utterly absurd, you may well make it safely
to port. But if you draw attention to yourself with ridiculous posts you
risk going down in flames and sinking to the bottom of the UseNet sea as so
tragically happened to Marcella.

The best anti U(seNet)-Boat tactics that I can recommend is to post messages
expressing complete awe and reverence for Howard. My Sonar detectors are set
to pick up the slightest praise of Mark & Brian so beware. However, it is
not so bad to be sunk by Ol PJ since you will have been fired on by the
BEST! The New York Times News Service even wrote up a story about my UseNet
flames a couple of years ago. So being torpedoed in UseNet action by Ol' PJ,
the U-Boat Commander is like getting shot down by the Red Baron. It might
not be a great fate but at least you were destroyed by THE BEST.

Time now to dive down to my lurk mode beneath the surface and.....

....... Feuern Sie die Torpedos ab!

Actually it was a NY Times NEWS SERVICE article from over 2 years ago. I
couldn't find it yet but I did find this gem. If you go to the link, just
scroll down towards the bottom of the page to "Tips For Op-Ed Writers." BTW,
the article states that my story appeared in the L.A. Herald Examiner.
That's true but it also appeared in the Houston Chronicle Sunday Texas
magazine section, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and several other papers.

Humor is hard to project in an opinion piece. Satire can bite
the writer.

P.J. Gladnick wrote a tongue-in-cheek satire about harmful
cartoons for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner. He showed Snow
White exploiting short people, Scrooge McDuck engaging in the
capitalistic duck-slave trade, the Three Little Pigs abusing the
Big Bad Wolf, and more.

That article made him the hero of the National Coalition on
Television Violence, who used it to justify censoring Saturday
morning TV.

This is not a flame, because I sure wouldn't want to be hit by a
torpedo. Yikes! Anyway, I read the reference to you in the link you
provided, and I am seriously curious: was this the reaction you were
shooting for? Did/do you agree with the National Coalition against TV
Violence? I'm really serious here. I'm just curious.

Not really. Like the article said, it was strictly tongue in cheek. However,
I guess some folks took it seriously. One reader even sent in a death threat
because he thought I meant to besmirch his beloved cartoons. I still have
that article.

Herr Kapitan,

I must warn you that my primary warfighting specialty is ASW...as in
Anti-Submarine Warfare. I am trained to not only detect and track, but
also to KILL enemy submarines. And since I fly well above your
environment, you are virtually powerless against me. The splashes you
hear all around you are the sonobuoys I will use to track you...Of
course, the best defense against my tactical superiority is to be as
quiet as you can be. It might be in your best interest to read your
tactical manual...
