Just my $.02 worth...
People, please...others have tried to chastize Litch for his "tone" in the
past, and ended up being guilty of what they accuse Litch of. I see this
getting to that point once again...
As Michael has pointed out in the past, we frequently take

No, m'lady, you're NOT the only person who sees the irony of it. (not to
mention the hypocrisy) I have seen it for quite some time, but I have bitten
my tongue about saying anything as I didn't wish to fan the flames.

He was here when *I* joined, and a lot of the names I'm seeing now are new.

No, it's not ok, and in my book, it's a worse action than the original
person's rudeness. I really dislike hypocrisy.

May I join you? I'm sure there are going to be a lot of people who won't
