The kind of piling on that I've seen in this thread against Parker is an 
obscenity that makes his faults mild by comparison.  His ways of 
expressing himself leave much to be desired, but the reaction of some 
admins, the accusations of lying, the ridicule, the belittling, the 
lynch-mob mentality go far beyond anything that he could single-handedly 
do are absolutely sickening.

Try looking at his suggestions on their own merit, without regard to who 
is making them.  Maybe some people find that they hit too close to home.
