Do Not Feed the Trolls Part II: The Alien

[Editor's note: BACKGROUND: In late November 2000, in the wake of the controversial American presidential election of that year, a thread appeared on the sci.space.policy newsgroup provocatively titled "Why I'm not an American". A "leolee39@my-deja.com" posted the following: (spelling etc as in original)
>though I live in this miserable America place, I really can't

Ah-Ha! So you admit it! You are an Alien! I knew you slimy little green bug-eyed bastards would give yourselves away eventually.

Where are you? I'll bet you are in Area 51 with all the missing election chads. Your kind probably considers them a delicacy.

I implore you to bring back all of those chads. We need them. You need them. If you don't bring them back, how can you ask, TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER.
