to realize that Bill does have friends.

Pac, you appear to be his last remaining friend on this forum and it is
only a matter of time before he alienates you, too. And I didn't see
any attempt at stifling free speech. All I saw was the opinion, which I
happen to agree with, that if you are going to be critical of people
posting anonymously, then you should have the balls to post your own
real name publicly. I don't care if Badwater Bill or who else knows
your true identity, nor do I care so much who you really are. But if
you insist on being a hypocrite, you should expect to be called one.
You probably have legitimate reasons for keeping your identity to
yourself and most on this newsgroup are okay with that, but don't expect
to be taken as seriously as somebody who hangs their name and
credentials out for everybody to see.

Despite Badwater Bill's
shortcomings (and he's got em') he's ten times the American you are.
I get along with him fine. Try using honey instead of vinegar all the
time.

One is known by the company he keeps.
