Have you read his posts in ALL-POLITICS? All Klahn does is import posts
from other echoes and attack the original poster. In addition Klahn keeps
rewriting the echo rules so he can kick anyone out he doesn't like.

Then, you must not care for Klahn's echoes.

You'd come across better if you were applying the same attitude toward Klahn.

That's your opinion, but you haven't said anything to Klahn for his using
ALL-POLITICS to attack Earl and others.

No, you were called a liberal for your gutter language.

BTW, what Earl does with this echo is his decision and if you don't like
it, vote with your feet.
