Where are the hard-flaming e-gladiators of yore?

[Tim Strzechowski]

And it's important to remember that such statements are pretty biased, 
anyways.

While many of the so-called "flame wars" were amusing, they did little to 
foster intelligent literary discussion and did nothing more than clutter 
bandwidth and stroke egos.  Doug remains subscribed (I happen to know), but 
chooses to lurk. Many of Morris's claims against Doug are obviously biased 
and stem from their particularly vicious history.

I have no clue what happened to MalignD or Terrence ... personally, I miss 
the latter's entertaining contributions and free-form zaniness.  The former 
contributed nothing worthwhile to intelligent discussion and merely 
belittled listers (but I'll admit, that's my bias).

Jbor was outed as an intellectual fraud a coupla years ago and, being a 
cheap-o to boot, is probably hoarding his millions in Australia.  Some here 
found his contributions significant.  Me, I thought him a pompous fool who 
liked to call Doug a pompous fool.  Pots and kettles, really.

Me, I'm an unintelligent jag-off who hostlurks between boozing it up with 
coprophiliacs and going to peep shows with a bottle of Ivory liquid.  So who 
am I to talk ...

Umm ... are we still talkin' about ATDTDA here?  How did this topic arise? 
We usually get on these tangents when a host drops the ball ... LOL
