For me it boils down to this: You can't have it both ways. People on ECF surely have the right to say "I don't like x,y, or z". But you then can't get all bent if somebody else doesn't happen to like YOUR x, y, or z.
I've seen
threads where Jerry has been called an evil bad person, I mean PERSONALLY (not even his product!), and he took the high road and ignored it. In that case the faceless nameless Internet dweebs actually had no idea what the truth is, they made up crap just to fit their little lives that apparently revolved around whether some other faceless nameless dweeb gave them a "like" for being dead wrong.
