Grow up already people, geez!

Who cares if he posts this 'inappropriate/illegal' article.  How did
he hurt you?  If it took you 30 minutes to come up with a scathing
retort, that's your problem.  A normal person should go 'bah' and hit
'j' for junk.  Go to next article.

I'm suprised by the fact this this scheme is in fact illegal.  Only a
total fool would actually take it seriously, especially on the net.
Why do we need so many laws to protect fools anyways ?

It never ceases to amaze me just how many net.cops there are out
there, just looking for somebody to mailbomb in the name of Justice.

(And if you sent him $ and didn't get rich, that's your own problem.)
