Bullshit, George. The idiot who wrote the initial flame to Lauren is a
malevolent asshole. Just because Lauren does a large amount of work which
keeps the net going doesn't mean he has to accept the abuse of every bugfuck
idiot who crawls out of the woodwork to snipe at him. The attitude of people
like you who say, "Oh. Go ahead. I'm visible. Abuse me," is one of the
things that keep this kind of abuse going. I say flame the bastard. Nuke
him 'til he glows. The asshole's probably pissed off since he didn't think
of it first and put HIS price tag on it.
