Not so respectful insolence

By oracknows on February 18, 2006.

And here's the last (and one of my favorite) categories of my blast from the past, some times over the last 14 months when Orac decided to take the "respectful" out of Respectful Insolence:

  • A response to the "Herbinator"
  • "Intelligent design" apologia: Pot. Kettle. Black.
  • I tried not to discuss "intelligent design" again, but...
  • Invitation accepted
  • A brief Cablevision rant
  • It looks like Orac attracted another one
  • A little criticism directed Orac's way
  • I'm glad I didn't order the pulled pork
  • Shortsighted, not curious, and proud of it!
  • Cybersquatter: J. B. Handley
  • Cybersquatting for Jesus
  • Orac applies some Respectful Insolence™ to a comment spammer

    I was just reading some of your old posts, and I totally sympathize with your complaint about Cablevision's synthesized-voice phone system. Did your problem ever get addressed? And did you try saying "technical assistance"? We were "sold" to Cingular about a year ago, and have to survive the contract period to avoid loss of $alot. They have this system, and I've found that the only thing I can say that the system "understands" is "technical assistance." Fortunately it works well, I think because all the ATT techies were sold to Cingular too, and they don't like it any more than I do, and they have at their command the changes and considerations I desire. Even so, the experience is wearing thin.
