The line beginning "The people who are currently inhabiting net.flame..."
certainly sounds like a judgement to me! The capacity to adjuticate is,
insofar as I am aware, a trait which is singular to humans among all
Earth-dwelling creatures. I can see where one might object to personal
insult (and there is a lot of that on the net), but a sweeping comment
like the one above reflects BAD judgement (which might be better than
none at all).

Whatever happened to people using real (and intact), names and accurate
site names? (Don't we have a right to know who our accusers are?)
