There are several answers to your question, though you may well not
like any of them:

- It seemed to me that Tweeter was doing a much needed job which
  some other group users were doing either ineffectively or not
  doing at all.

- Your own methods of handling of the Casso problem seemed to have
  the effect of mainly encouraging him rather than the opposite,
  so...I labelled you a Cassophile...knowing full well that I would
  get flamed for that in return.

- I have scarcely ever, if indeed ever, seen you flame any of the
  many newcomers to alt.ascii-art who come here either criticising
  or flaming or bitching and offering nothing else.  Tweeter clearly
  was someone who _really_ "got your goat", whereas the rest have
  largely passed you by with scarcely a murmur from you.

  ( Cue for an ObAscii? ):

- I really expect you to do what I advise you to do...rather than do
  what I personally actually do ( which you don't agree with anyway ).

- There is method in a lot of my madness!
