Danyel,

At first, I decided to ignore this excessively impudent posting. After all,
you are permitted to express your own ideas no matter how bizarre they might
be.

But as I thought about it, I felt that you needed to be chastised for such
an intemperate posting.

Your argument that Fediman is a "disgusting fraud," is so bizarre and
irrational that I have decided to tell you that such postings do nothing but
damage your reputation, if you had one to begin with. They are, of course,
an expression of an opinion, but done so badly that I am forced to share my
opinion of you.

Anyone who chooses to behave so badly is someone no longer worth listening
to.

Dan Leeson
