 It seems to me that people should have a right to post articles
without other people writing to their sysadmins with claims that
they are engaging in an illegal conspiracy by doing so. Life is
not fair, and one of the reasons is that people are not always
fair or reasonable, nor always wise or just or magnanimous. If
you wish that people would be nicer or that the world was a
better place, you might began by asking yourself why you found it
necessary to use lies and intimidation against those you regarded
as your enemies. Coming from a person with your strong professed
interest in justice for everyone, I found and still find your
actions to be not only morally bankrupt, but well-nigh
incredible.  The hypocrisy of it still stuns and nauseates me.
