>>Dear Dirk and all other Steve Bashers,
>>        I gotta tell you guys I wouldn't miss a Chicago Steve post for
>>all the tea in China. It nearly always brings a hearty chuckle. But
>>it there is one thing more enjoyable, it is the irony of the Steve
>>Bashers.... I wouldn't miss one of those posts for the world, either.
>>You guys crack me up. I really don't know which is best.
>>        I have been on this list since day one and one of the most
>>interesting of the phenomena is what I think of as the chicken
>>pecking behavior that occurs over and over. Frequently, a flock
>>of chickens will pick out what is perceived as the weakest chicken
>>(or maybe just oddest) and the whole damned flock (or, at least the
>>majority) will start picking at it. Of course, this frequently results
>>in eventual death. However, that does not end it.... they will eventually
>>find another chicken to pick on, and the cycle repeats itself over
>>and over.
>>        It is also similar to a shark feeding frenzy with blood in the
>>water. I have a theory that the anonymity or distance, or a wide
>>variety of factors involved in internet group communication somehow
>>results in the triggering of the WEB equivalent of "Road Rage."
>>        It reminds me of a few weeks ago when Steve posted 4 or 5
>>(or 8 or 10?) ridiculous posts droning on and on about the same
>>meteorite sale he was conducting and it resulted in 72 attack
>>posts. It had the effect on me of listening to my second favorite
>>comedian, Louis Black (Robin Williams is, of course, the most
>>brilliant comedian ever, but Black will nearly cause me to
>>laugh myself nigh onto death - literally). Every time I would read
>>one of Steve's posts I couldn't figure out if it was more hysterical
>>because of its absurdity or because of my anticipation of the
>>approaching landslide of whining, attacking, mewling protests
>>that would surely be coming as a result.
>>        Dirk, I have met and respect you, as I have several Steve
>>Bashers, but REALLY DUDES, you gotta get a grip!  .... or not.
>>Regardless, y'all might be interested to know there are dozens
>>of us out here who really do think the attack pack is as funny
>>as Steve when he gets on a roll.
>>        Oh, one other thought here: Steve has, on a few occasions,
>>offered to "take on" various individuals "at the next Tucson Show."
>>Maybe it would be interesting to set up a ring, have some gloves
>>and Steve could go one round with all the more vociferous critics.
>>Naw..........that would be TOO hysterical.
>>        Best wishes, Michael
