I guess you have a better grasp of the situation that we thought.

Have you any idea what you are saying, or do you simply play it by ear?
None of this had anything to do with gender or feminism. It was simply
hubris on your part and the desire to finally win an argument with Amero
by getting her ISP to boot her because hundreds of pinheads who would sign
a petition to have Elvis Stoyko's recordings removed from music stores on
the grounds that he seems a little too happy to be a figure skater wrote
letters of protest in the hopes that they could 'make a difference.'

I was following Amero for months and while I found much that she said
idiotic, I found the replies to her even moreso - especially yours. But I
found no point in playing the game.

Good god. There was nothing stopping you from simply ignoring her.

I suspect that they know full well who they're dealing with and will
probably laugh their guts out at whining freaks like you who simply can't
deal with leaving these kinds of people alone..  

Use the killfile feature of your newsreader and your world will be
Amero-free and you can rest easy.  if you mount another campaign after
this advice, it is clear that you have no other goal than to bitch, whine,
moan, and harass.

If you want to play with Amero, do so.  But don't whine about it afterward
when you could have just walked away.
