Ummm....  People?  Why are we even arguing something this asinine?

I mean, no disrespect to anyone, but Lawson wrote this however many 
years ago, was praised for it, and everything was all good.

  That was then. This is NOW. What was good then might not be good now. 
Lawson's work ain't Star Wars (which may always be seen as good). 

Now Always Man, or Guy Under the Bridge, or whatever he's calling 
himself now, comes along, and says (No surprise here) that it sucked, 
and offered, what I consider, very weak proof of such.  And we all act 
as if this surprised us?

  For the record, *I* thought it sucked. 

Why?

  Because it is his RIGHT. 

Have we really stooped so low that we are listening to the rabid 
rantings of an attention starved madman?

  Have we really stooped so low that we are throwing flames back and 
forth over the words of one man? 

He opened his mouth, filth spewed forth, and now we're left cleaning up 
the mess.

  Bzzz! Wrong! NOBODY is cleaning ANY mess, the way THESE messages are 
getting flung around. NO MORE. NO MORE. 

  (I have no idea why I'm hoping people would listen to me like they 
listen to Tybalt).
