Really? I don't suppose it ever crossed your mind that some of these things that you jump to condemn after the fact are caused by some of the wacky crap you post in these forums while passing yourself off as some kind of expert. DHLP, or whatever your latest term for it, is a good example. Many interpet it to mean exactly the behavior you are now condemning. And you wonder why some of us feel the need to ensure that much of your dogma does not go unchallenged...because otherwise your words might get even more people hurt.
