Personal opinion follows, as I am not the Sean monitor.

What I don't understand is why people are calling other people morons and other
names, when those other people aren't actually calling anyone names here.  It's
like there is this assumption that someone is going to be abusive, and people
feel like they need to get in some sort of preemptive strike or something.

I can understand it, but I hate it.  Rolf never posted here once he was let back
in, but I bet this sort of thing would have happened in that case, as well.
People's emotions are so worked up by one guy that all the guy has to do is say
"hello" and it starts a big controversy and they end up being personally
attacked over *nothing*.  If the target isn't interested in actually causing
trouble, it is unfair to them to do this, and if they are, it must amuse them
greatly that they can cause trouble by simply expressing existence.

I wish that people would collectively get some sense, and realize that they
can't hope to attain any sort of moral high ground by thrashing around in the
mud, especially if they jump in the mud *first*.
