That was the tip of the iceberg. Bill was on Carl's case because Carl
was apparently trying to offend people. I saw the same behaviour from
Carl on AMPS. When Bill apparently told Carl to behave himself or else,
Carl accused Bill of acting like a member of the Nationalsozialistische
deutsche Arbeiter-Partei,. Nacherly, Carl got booted, which is seemingly
what he was after all along. . If it had been up to me, I would have
let Carl stay and eventually be largely ignored by the general
membership. Being ignored by your peers is undoubtedly the ultimate
squelch .

How do you feel about people who cash customers' cheques and do not send
their stuff, Dick?
