| 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.

That didn't come until later, after his GM had posted saying he'd already
said an emphatic 'NO' to the idea.
And I believe he was the first person to start doing the judging by calling
everyone on the list a closed minded person who always jumps to conclusions.
