   Whataver. The FACT remains, that I have not sent anything to   
   Straczynski for over two years.   
      
   What he didn't like was me putting right people on the group who were   
   fawning fanboys. What he didn't like was me being critical of season 5   
   of B5. What he didn't like was me correcting someone who described him   
   as a "cultural icon". What he didn't like is me suggesting that there   
   are significant numbers of comicbook reader who wish he'd never   
   written "Sins Past".   
      
   In short, he didn't like corrections and criticism.   
      
   But either way, since he is filtered on my system, and since I haven't   
   sent anything to his, I fail to see how it constitutes any form of   
   "harassment".   
      
   What it is, is his tender ego not being capable of either rebutting or   
   ignore negative comments.   
      
   ... which if you had even bothered to read the group, you'd know.   
      
   (And what the hell makes you think I have to justify myself to you or   
   anyone else if quite beyond understanding. And I'm done doing it)   
      
   You may, just may, have to live with the prospect that your icon is   
   off his trolley.
