(1) How do you know, based on his e-mail, that Andrew is "ugly"?

(2) How do you know, based on his e-mail, that Andrew is "little"?

(3) How do you know, based on his e-mail, that Andrew is a "twerp"?

(4) Since when is it representative of the "proletarian outlook" to demean
    people that you view as "ugly", "little", and "twerps"?

(5) Are not the "ugly" and "little" part of the working class as well? 

(6) Should the "ugly" and "little" members of the working class be
    elimimated in favor of "pretty" and "larger" members?

(7) What do your prejudices have to do with Marxism?

(8) Why are you insulting Andrew and others rather than engaging them
    honestly in political debate?
