The Jim Collas rumor, truth or rumor? I say rumor.

I hate to say it, but Bill Buck has already got his "Care Package" from the Viscorp days.  Slander, hatred, flaming things thrown out and about the threads. (I don't think anyone auctioned off a wedding licence though... That *IS* a new low....)  To be honest, this kind of harsh treatment has followed many in our community.  

See: QuickPak, AntiGravity, Escom, C=, Scala, Gateway, Bernie Meyer, Harold Frank, Holger Kruse, and even Petro have all seen the results from the "dark side" of our community. The list is by no means all inclusive, but you get the idea. This kind of stuff will never stop completely, even if we find another golden era.

I'm not trying to jump down on anyone, but my reply to the rant is really just, "Flaming hate posts (and associated proofs) have always happened, it is happening now, and it will happen again."

Well, when I said "didn't auction off a marriage licence," I meant it in regards of other "notables."  Obviously, McEwen's marriage licence is being (or has been) auctioned off.  Thus, my piece was really geared toward the whole topic of "dirt throwing" in general.  I apologize if I didn't word it well.
