In John's case, LOL means "Lack of Logic".

You, Mark S Probert have proven yourself to be a liar. You do not read
Torah everyday.

G-d's Justice System
When we judge others, we are setting our own personal justice system. If
I
am constantly finding fault and criticizing others, I send a message to
G-d.
Shortcomings should be noticed and highlighted; there's no room for mercy
and tolerance. And G-d allows us to fa****on the very justice system with
which He views us. If we see only the bad in others, we bring upon
ourselves
the very judgment we, in our minds, visit upon others daily.
http://www.ye****va.org.il/midrash/****ur.asp?id=338
In the next ****tion of the midrash, the sages teach that it is fitting for
people to speak in clean, appropriate language:"
The words of Hashem are pure'...In the Torah, God chose to write eight
extra
words in order to avoid using terminology which was not 100% 'clean. In
the
Book of Berei****, for instance, Noach is told to choose for the ark from
among 'the pure cattle and from the cattle that is not pure...' [- instead
of referring to the latter group using the Hebrew term for ritually impure
beasts, "Tameh." ] In disqualifying the rabbit as a pure animal, the Torah
does not say that the impurity derives from the fact that the rabbit does
not have split hooves, [though this is true] but rather that the rabbit is
impure because it [only] chews its cud. (Vaykira 11)" The clear message of
the midrash: when unpleasant things are uttered, they must be expressed in
the cleanest, most honorable manner possible.
When we talk about being careful about speech, we're talking about two
different issues. What to say, and how to say it.
First of all, it is im****tant not to say things that need not be said.
When
something is in need of being said, it should be expressed using clean,
appropriate language. I've mentioned on several occasions that Rav Tzvi
Yehuda Kook (of blessed memory) was very cautious with his words, always
carefully weighing what he had to say before he said it. He would never
say
things in the negative, but would always couch his ideas in positive
terms.
