Nice. Hey, I'm prepared to "Let It Be"; he just needs to stop being a big
ol' bully WALRUS! (Sorta Beatlish.)

Other than blasting an occasional anonymous troll or spammer, I don't recall
ever starting a Usenet flame war (especially getting into /personal insults/
with someone). It's rather pathetic that Zoot takes this stuff so
seriously, but I'm not going to let lies or hate-filled remarks go
unchallenged.

I hate bullies. Always have. Always will.
