First of all Killian isn’t the villain you make him out to be; iirc, he made an issue out of iceweasel’s saying who she voted for and therefore the question of whether or not she’s an American Citizen is of some relevence.
Secondly - YOU don’t know Killian any more than you KNOW iceweasel.
I’ve had the good fortune to have a modest e-mail relationship with Killian and he is one of the good guys.
Thirdly, let us not pretend that Killian is the ONLY LGFer to “lose it” from time to time out her, ok?
And I didn’t read anything he said to Hoops that was offensive towards Hoops, but only Hoops can really answer that question.

Killian’s posts lambasting iceweasel over who she voted for (a datum which remains unknown, to the best of my knowledge) have been going on for a couple of weeks now. In every thread where iceweasel posts, Killian jumps in with some unpleasant comment raising this non-issue, unprovoked and regardless of topic. Over and over and over again. It is juvenile and unpleasant. Anyone who has jumped in to attempt to end it has been lumped into the same category - whatever it may be - and is subjected to the same derision and scorn simply through association.

This sort of mindless stalker attack is exactly why I avoid most politically-oriented sites. Ad hominem attacks abound; posters are directly attacked, and the issue in question is ignored. I stick around here because such posts are kept to a minimum. In fact, this is one of the only forums I can think of where opposing views are tolerated to any degree at all, and it’s unfortunate to see counterexamples to the normally civil back-and-forth that takes place here.

Killian and I probably agree on pretty much everything, but this kind of behavior is way out of line. I’m adding my voice to those who would like to see it stop.
