Well, the problem is that some people didn't limit themselves to
judging the idea, they went on to judge the person who proposed it, and his
motives. Some even went so far as to tell us what his intent was. This was
unacceptable in a free discussion list. While his idea might have been gross
and ultimately stupid, those who jumped on him for proposing it were worse.
