I know Paul, but that Roy has rubbed me the
wrong way for some time now and I just went
crazy. I hate know-it-all types and he strikes
me as that type and I can't tolerate it.
From now on, anyone who makes me nuts
will go on the blocked sender list and he's
there now. Constructive critism I can take,
such as you've displayed,
How is Paul's disagreement with you any different from Roy's? That is, how is proving you were wrong by Paul more "constructive" than being proven wrong by Roy? 

but some are just

out to prove that IBM compats. and MS are
crap and they really aren't. I'm cool.
