It's just that his postings show more egocentricity and closed-mindedness than Sunny's ever did. Posting, for all of the Networld to see, articles that essentially tell one of the net community to go kill herself, ARE SIMPLY INEXCUSABLE. No if's, and's, or but's. You, as much as anyone, should be aware of the dangers of condoning such actions. I don't care if Mr. Williams posted the Unified Field Theory and a cure for cancer. It doesn't justify what he did. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
