<<< Remember that engineer was here because he believed AMTX was being hyped to death and many people fell for the hype w/o doing enough research.>>>

That's a generous way of putting it. I tolerated his opposing views and even his boorish attitude with nearly everyone until his last post to the Aware thread. It was slanderous if not libelous and while I did not ask that he be removed, I forwarded a long collection of offensive posts and asked the webmasters what could be done. They removed him that same day.

There's an ocean of difference between countering hype and presenting opposing views. Many of us have differing views on many issues and carry on debates in a civil manner. Some times they even become heated, but they don't disintegrate into infantile name-calling or slander in any form.

Since I was the primary subject of his abuse, I'll take the responsibility for blowing the whistle. The deeper truth is he blew the whistle on himself.

Regards,

Pat
