    This is how a new moderator of POLITICS took my criticism, he wrote a poem. =))))

    * Subj : Re: The Man Who shouted Dicator! ============================================================================= In a node down in Coatesville, all grumpy and glum,
    Lived a fellow named Alex with sarcasm and thumb.
    He typed out his thoughts with a sneer and a shake,
    He cried, You're a tyrant! You're clearly a fake!

    But the mod - that was me was appointed, you see,
    By Mike Powell himself, with a nod and decree.
    There were no elections, no ballots, no poll,
    Just action, precision, and me in control.

    Now Alex, dear Alex, he banged on his keys,
    Throwing insults like hail in a digital breeze.
    He said I was angry, he said I was cruel,
    While breaking each line of the echo's own rule.

    He scoffed at the rules from that June long ago,
    With a grin full of smug and a face full of show.
    "Outdated!" he barked, "Irrelevant trash!"
    Yet rode on its rails like a tick on the sash.
    His netmail? Delivered by Backbone's old grace.
    His node? It exists 'cause of that very place.
    He mocks it, he bites it, he spits in its face-
    Yet sucks at its teat like it's silk and it's lace.

    He jeers at the code with the pride of a fool,
    While drooling out posts built on that same rule.
    Oh, the heat from his take is a laughable joke-
    Cause if June 89 ever really went broke?
    He'd vanish like smoke in a storm-ridden breeze,
    With no one to whine to, no network to tease.
    So next time he barks, let him taste the whole fact:
    He's a clown on a bridge that's still holding his act.
