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?
