My conception of "right" is a much more pragmatic one than you believe,
Torkel. I admit "rights" for another person only so far as I consider
it to be in my own interest, with qualifiers "in the long run" and
"totally". I believe my pragmatic evaluation was well supported by
what I had to say.

But then it is even less point in wasting your time just stating
in non-nice words that you don't like him, as that just lowers the
level of the list + consumes everybody's time + give people a lower
opinion of you as a shit-thrower.

At my program, "Author kill" is an option. Very useful.
