- I've been reading this Omar-bashers bashing and not quite knowing what to
- think, but I find myself in complete agreement with Daemon here. Whether or
- not Omar is arrogant and a pain in the ass; whether or not these are racist
- attacks (I would have to say probably not); and whether or not these are
- malicious postings; the most malicious thing I could think of would be to
- inform Omar about this. "Omar, look! Here are a bunch of people who hate your
- guts! Don't you feel just great now?" (Not that these students at RHIT hate
- Omar, I wouldn't/couldn't know, but the point remains.)
-
- To whoever did this:
-
- This was a real dick move. Sure, you may have slammed Daemon and his buddies,
- but think of yourself receiving an e-mail message saying "Read this newsgroup
- and you will see exactly what other people think of you." Of course you can
- now read a.f.c and find this out, but the difference is that anyone who rips on
- you knows you will read it.
-
- Think of how Omar must feel? I hope you are proud of yourself.

-
- Lawyers are often stereotyped as heartless bastards. I think in this case, this
- is probably true.
-
- PS: Sorry to all who get 2 or 3 nearly identical copies of this posting. I
- retracted it twice now to remove references to Ted Frank.
