Jody,

I feel you're engaging in my favorite exercise: jumping to conclusions
bases on little or no evidence.  In a free society, people are
presumed innocent until proven guilty.  Please think before indulging
yourself in bad-tempered name calling.  I will indulge myself in a
little psycho-babble and point out that usually people see themselves
in others and judge other's actions on their own wants and desires.  In
that light,  your posting doesn't reflect well on you.

Best regards,

Jim Bigelow
