Which is rather stupid, really.  Being critical of the whole site, like
PORTAL, may influence opinions of the posters on the site, but has not caused
sites like GRYPHON to stop propagating PORTAL articles down stream to sites
we feed.  Tha accusations of "racism" or "siteism", of all things, are
nothing byt hysterical rantings.

Proves WHAT?  That Sexton has a very low opinion of "yer average Portal
poster"?  That we all knew and expected.  What else?  That this low opinion
will prevent GRYPHON from feeding PORTAL postings to other sites?  That
somehow, by magic, a user "richard@GRYPHON" will cause PORTAL to fall off the
NET?

Ray Dunn has been engaged in GRYPHON-bashing for quite a while now.  What
does that prove?
