   Flames and flamewars are started by specific jerks due to (1)
piracy, (2) drug addled lunacy, and (3) essentially Atention Deficit
Disorder *wanting* attention, and doing #1 and #2 just to get their
name in lights. Turley's qualifications are on all of the above.

   Remove the causes of the problems, and things are MUCH
nicer. Witness Delphi and Genie, where Turkey is NOT posting (but many
of those who flame him back are), and the place is much nicer. No
arsonists to start the problem, no flames. 

   Just keep telling Turkey to go away as he's promised to.
