  Of course it is! From a Z1 point of view, that is. It's all about on what
foot the shoe fits. We all know that, there's no need to repeat it. It's OK
for you guys to even spend good dollars on a dedicated hate site, while,
for the rest of us, even a very innocent tag line is regarded as short of a
war declaration. What else is new (and have you still not learned the
lesson you assured us all that you indeed had learned a couple of weeks
ago?).

   Why do you have to wonder? You played that game yourself recently, and
maybe won the battle but lost the war, remember?

   In today's, Patriot Acted, US, all it takes is one anonymous email or
phone call to blacklist anyone as a terrorist (with all the ramifications
that follow), so it would be much more easy to force Ward to be subjected
to a strip search, plus another huge bunch of family humiliation, on a US
airport, than ever it was for you to make Playboy close my DynDNS account.

   In fact, much more easy than you can ever imagine, safely tucked away in
that 51st US state where you live. But just wait a year or two, and I bet
you will get the taste of it as well, eventually.
