He's just upset that his little coup failed, that's all.
Beware the "liberator" who demeans, belittles, accuses, and otherwise
attacks those he claims to wish to "save".
Beware the "shepherd" who *drives* his flock with a spear, a bark, a growl,
and a threat.
Real shepherds *lead*. Wolves are the ones that *drive* their quarry.
The Angry Handful is pissed off that they weren't able to pull off their
tinhat "revolution".
It's kinda sad in a way to see someone (or two or three ;) *so* wrapped up
in things that they're consumed with the need to control the lives of
others to such an extent that they try to turn a simple mailing list
migration into a People's Revolutionary Crusade.
Kinda disgusting, too.
I notice Comrade Zimbabweman did not manage to answer my question as to why
he didn't call for these People's Revolutionary Reforms BEFORE the
migration. If things are as Truly F'd Up as he (and his Silly Crew) insist
they are, then *surly* the Rule of King Tim should have been challenged
from the start.
Or could it possibly be that, like all predatory scavengers, the stood
wait, biding their time, knowing that it would be utter folly to strike
until a moment of transition, when there'd be an opportunity to cash in on
the temporary disarray?
