Yes larry, I have noticed that. It's part of people's unspoken love for entertainment in the form of pain and stupidity. Have you noticed that all news shown on TV is mostly bad?

I've also noticed that this is just another flame directed towards pete. And if you really want to get your reputation back I'd suggest you start off with a clean slate. I.E. a new account. This whole slanderous flame war won't do you good, regardless of who started it.
