Nathan,

the bottom line is that we all just want to live and let live around here. We 
are sick of the lies and persecution that you and Joe regularly impose on many 
of the members of the apple II community. 

All I ask is that you cut your attitude, and stop your right-wing religious 
zealot antics that you are famous for. That is all I ask. I am not asking you 
to go away. I just want you and joe to mellow out. If someone asks where they 
can get a copy of XYZ, and it is no longer available commercially, then DONT 
FLAME THEM. Dont insult them, call them thieves, etc etc etc. Stop trying to 
shut down sites that contain NON COMMERCIALLY AVAILBLE SOFTWARE. They are the 
last refuge of software available to a dying line of computers. That is fact.

Live and let live. The posts of the commercially available software the other 
day was WRONG. Plain and simple. The person deserved to be flamed. But you 
need to learn to be a little more tolerant of those who's view differ from 
your own. 

Stop being such and extremist, and stop the witch hunt, and most of the flames 
will go away nathan. 

We all want the same thing. A creative, productive "warm and fuzzy" community 
of people who love the apple 2. But when certain individuals are constantly 
getting razzed for moral differences, it is kind of hard to tolerate such 
behaviour. That is where I have traditionally stepped in.

My .199 cents.
