I can't argue with that, it seems clear that Dr. Tom has been naughty at
times. However, he didn't run a Nazi death camp, though you'd think he did
by the reaction of the haters. I can't imagine devoting a web page to
someone I don't like, or spending endless hours bashing someone, as QC does.
These people need professional help...

I don't care what Dr. Tom haters think, I'm just sick of hearing about it
over and over again. The sum of their participation in CSA2 is Dr. Tom
bashing. Let them form a "alt.we.hate.dr.tom" newsgroup if that's what their
primary interest in the A2 platform is.
Dr. Tom is NOT "just one ... of many", few of us have devoted as much effort
as he has to keeping the Apple II going forever. His web site and helpful
information have been a boon to many. Contrast that with QC's participation.
His net contribution is less than zero. He helps no one, has no interest in
anything but bashing Dr. Tom. He's a parasite.
