I doubt that anyone qualified to be deemed a True Wizard
would be so abusive as exhibited in the cited responses.
Rather, those would appear to be people with severe cases
of low self-esteem, trying to pump up their own self-images
by running down innocents.  One would think that True
Wizards know their own worth and wouldn't feel the need to
resort to such tactics.
