"Your metaphor about the linebacker and the quarterback gave me an opportunity to make a point in your own terms, two points really. That the linebacker removes his weight when he quarterback cries "uncle" and that he feels bad about the broken leg even if it occurred on a legal hit and the quarterback was too scrawny to have been in the game in the first place."

Good point. I would add that a discussion group is not a football game where people are paid big bucks to risk physical injury, and where the participants are qualified to the activity. SI as not intended as a forum for psychotic harassment. When it occurs it is not staus quo; it is not a "hail mary" for the alma mater. It is simply a despicable act...
