Ahem.  Considering the original message was posted to pretty
much all of the tasteless groups (as well as at least one
alt.flame.* group), I'd say that the tasteless
nonsense that you deleted was actually rather fitting.

I'd agree that he's entitled to post his opinion, but as for
being entitled to not having tasteless nonsense directed at him,
he might want to pay more attention to WHERE he posts his opinion.
Though I don't really think QUARK's response came as much
of a surprise to him.
