when you said this pup had better be broken lest this dog do anymore

       Stuffing him inside anything would do little good. Maybe we should
all collectively just find him and wring his scrawny carcass of all the
blood he's got and donate it to charity. At least he'd be doing something
good other than flame the lot of us who worship the good anime and manga has
done for us. 
       With the way he did, making that absurb and irritating page wherein
people -- anime hatters --  could conviniently pool together to bug us is
not something I'd cherish. Indeed, respect the rights of the  common
homosapien but to actually respect him for what he's doing is too much to
ignore. 
       However, to stoop to mail bombs and such would be insulting our own
morales...
       Anyway, maybe we should just treat him to an expensive dinner where
Akane and C-ko cooked the seven course meal. And bring Azusa and Kodachi
along for the ride. Kodachi to provide the musical entertainment and Azusa
to provide the cute looks and kawaii voices... Not to mention being the one
to feed him.
       Geocities should ban this jerk!!! 
       Write us a draft for a petition, Kun-chan and everyone in the FFML
around the world will be there to sign it up...
       And then we'll see just how much he loves our 'undivided'
attention.. : )

Well, I am one FFMLer who *won't* sign such a petition.

Anime/manga haters (if there are any besides this guy) have the same
right to organize as everyone else. If after organizing they end up
harrassing us, sending out unwanted E-mail, etc. then it'll be a
different story and we should and will fight back. But that hasn't
happened yet as far as we know. The people whose names are listed on his
page, if they are indeed real people, do have a legitimate complaint,
but that is their prerogative, not ours. Even so, all that should be
demanded is that the names be removed.

Think about what you're saying! Suppose, for example, some of us tried
to use the web to organize to demand decent pay in our jobs. By this
precedent they could ban us for that.

If people we don't like, and even those who offend us, don't have
rights, then *nobody* has rights.
