The treatment he got from who?  You've noted that Simon has a history on
this list.  He pops in and out now and then, stirs things up and does
his fair share of insulting folks.  I believe he does it strickly to
cause the problems.  As I noted before, he either attempts to deflect
threads away from the original intent, or he doesn't respond when you've
'got him.'  I've posted a number of questions to him that were never
responded to.

Also, I believe there's a HUGE difference in comparing a company to the
Taliban and telling an individual that you hope they are assasinated
soon.  A HUGE difference.  The whole context of his message was much
more personal, regardless of the point he was trying to make.  It was
inappropriate.
