The whole lot of you really need to stop this.  Guy, there are plenty of
people who have had all of those things happen to them, and it is insulting
for those of us who have had it happen to hear you imply that not linking to
Wikipedia Review will save us from such things happening.  If you use your
real name on the web, and you tick off real people, they may well give you
real life headaches.  I am terribly sorry your wife is paying the price for
your hobby.

And Dan - yes, Rutabaga is insulting.

This discussion has gone on long enough, and everyone just needs to get over
themselves.  Everyone is right and everyone is wrong.

Now...go to your rooms or no pudding.
