Re: "i know everybody hates kurlak." People's brains seem to be hard-wired to respond with anger when someone disagreas with them, or when presented with information that, if true, could harm them. This is a defense mechanism that you see all the time, no matter how educated/wealthy/rational the people are. It destroys the value of a lot of SI threads. The Intel thread, for instance, is currently having a royal snit. Post after post full of name-calling, paranoia, conspiracy theories, petulance. Let's not do that here.
