There are some who would say that
the threshold should be more like:

"Anyone who's even close to being as
nasty, insulting, and intolerant as Carl
shouldn't be a ham, let alone an Extra."

I'm not one of them, but there are
some who would say that.

Carl, do you think that calling people
dumb is going to make them want to
learn things?
