So then if Sherry had said Hiarcs Sucks,and then offered six games to back up
her assertion, I assume her post would then have remained?  According to you
then the crime was  in not providing proof? I can't with the wildest imagination
see anything even remotely violating the CCC charter in such a case. Just for
fun I asked five of my friends did they consider sherry's statement rude or
offensive, they actually thought I was crazy for even suggesting it was. And I'm
certain that in any real life situation the comment would have passed without a
remark or rebuke, and I am sure had the Programmer of Hiarcs heard the
statement, although he would not like it, I don't think he would have taken it
personally since , It was not meant personal or directed toward him, I'm sure he
is mature enough to understand that people have rights to their  opinions
however imperfectly expressed.
