Exactly. The poster of the program was, in posting it, implying that I
am stupid. In other words, rather elaborately calling me a name.

Where is the connection between the program and you?


The OP referred to it as a "Twisted simulator" and the code itself
corroborates this intent.

Of course, referring to *any* short program as a simulator of some
person insults that person.


Ah - you are concerned over the incompleteness !

That is easily fixable:

import java.util.Random;

abstract public class TwerpieInCLJP {
     private static String STANDARD = "None of the nasty things that you
have said or implied about me are at all true";
     private static String[] OTHER = { "Liar",
                                       "Pervert",
                                       "Moron",
                                       "Fuck off",
                                       "Piss off",
                                       "Go to hell" };
     private static Random rng = new Random();
     public void post() {
         for(int i = 0; i < 1 + rng.nextInt(10); i++) {
             if(rng.nextDouble() < 0.5) {
                 System.out.println(STANDARD);
             } else {
                 System.out.println(OTHER[rng.nextInt(OTHER.length)]);
             }
         }
     }
}

happy now ?
