I've always had some doubts about Chuq, considering the extreme statements
he has made in the past (including the threats to resign fiasco).  My
suspicions are now confirmed.

In my mental categorisation, he is now firmly in the same camp as the Don
Black's of the net, though perhaps a little more dangerous, as he is perhaps
a little more intelligent.

Hmm.  Perhaps I should'nt post this, or he may sneak to my bosses to have me
silenced (without of course taking responsibility for any causal effects
this may have other than to get me off 'his' net).

It seems one is allowed to disagree with him so long as one does not express
it publicly, to express ideas so long as they coincide with his own.
