It's *stupefying*, it's so idiotic. Curtis has apparently been driven over the edge by the fight with his computer virus. He can't get back at the hacker, so he's striking out at everybody else within reach. Note the Barry trick of the vague reference, "some of the new posters." Curtis knows that if he had to *name* these new posters, his assertion would collapse immediately, so he doesn't. > To modify your obvious shot in the dark, some of the new > posters figured out, just like some of the old posters, that > they were sick of listening to three guys who always have a > hard on for bashing anything TM, and lay labels on others > faster than a road striping machine.

I mean, if you go back and look at the traffic, Curtis's claim is just obviously completely wrong. He's smart enough to know he's making shit up. But he isn't honest enough to admit it. Marek can be excused for his take, because while he claims to have been reading FFL all along, it's obvious that if he has, he hasn't been paying much attention to what he's read. It's very difficult to get the gist of what's going on if you aren't actively participating. > You can make it seem like the three of you cuddly lil' pups have been left at > the doorstep, cold and hungry, but that's just until you can get inside and > take a big steamy dump on the rug again.
