The problem with PugetSound was that he made a lot of personal attacks. That is not the defining quality of a FReeper. Argue about a subject all you want. But personal attacks are beyond the pale.Maybe just a suspension, I hope.
Beyond peradventure, Puget was too self righteous about his anti-Apple convictions, and it definitely led him into ad hominem territory more than once.He was given more than enough time to change his ways.Bill Cosby once gave it out that he asked a user what he liked about cocaine and was told:"It intensifies your personality."Cosby said that he replied,"Yeah - but what if you're an A$$hole!"And that, of course, is the human condition. We're constantly trying not to be an A$$hole, and all too readily fail - but when we are being one, we usually do not know it.
I certainly wouldn't want to debate that.
