A colourful description and to the point. To enhance accuracy, I would
add "a fanatic employing fascist methods."
Asking for an apology is part of these fascist methods, a sort of
"inversion of reality".
You see, in the real world, Prozak is the one who should apologize for
having repeatedly, directly and collectively insulted this list.
I won't hold my breath, though.
