Mikki, a woman of wit, had made a sarcastic joke:
>>How could we have been so stupid, fellow netters?  This Eric Mading
>>is obviously a colaboration between Rich Rosen and Matty Weiner.

Rhonda Scribner, who thinks she has wit, but is only half-right, and is
incapable of sarcasm, makes some remarks about Matthew and Rich.

Not that it matters, but Matthew and Rich could hardly have made an 
anti-semitic posting or had denounced drugs -- they both are far too 
intelligent to hold either of those positions.  But Rhonda, as always, responds
to the form, not the substance -- she dislikes rlr and weemba, and she dislikes
Eric... It's all very clear to Rhonda -- they must be the same person!  Yes, I
know, we ALL are Rich Rosen...

>People who express
>political or personal opinions about the world that grate against the norm
>are controversial and should be protected under first amendment rules. 
>People who chase people around and harrass them with stupid childish name
>calling are obnoxious and shouldn't be so protected. 

Under that rule, Rhonda falls into the "obnoxious" category.  Mading wasn't
much more offensive than Rhonda.  Mading was even willing to admit being 
wrong on several occasions -- something Rhonda would never do.

Mading WAS an unpleasant person -- like someone who smells bad, dresses in rags,
never washes, smokes cheap cigars and insists on standing close to you in a
small, unventilated elevator, breathing his tooth rot in your face while 
expounding on his inane world views...  Is that a reason enough to have him 
shot?

Rhonda, just wait!  One of these days Mading is going to get a brain and get
himself a BBS or public-access, pay service UNIX account, just like you and
Mark Ethan Smith have done.  He will be on equal footing with the rest of
the lunatics on the NET -- what are you going to do to shut him up THEN?

Or, as someone said, what if he shows up on some .GOV site?  Bird Dog, who 
got shut down on an .EDU site is now working for Gould...
