in response to the suggestions of "discrimination" (etc) against new members and ireland.
1. see the 2 comments by
JM2008 i bolded. they consitute ad hominem attacks against
Raffles. (who has been a regular here quite some time.) i "dont think its fair" that people are
defending that kind of behavior. especially from someone who joined solely to call
Raffles names and basically call
Raffles a liar,
rather than saying they disagree/had a different experience/etc,
especially without providing much explanation at all.
more information that supports
Raffles (not that they need it) >

IMHO the evidence supports my implication that
JM2008 works for capella. regardless of that, their behavior is still ridiculous.
