Hermit is self-deluded into believing himself possessed of imperial
sway; in other words he believes that things do or do not qualify as
evidence or logic not on their merits, but simply on his say-so. Sadly,
several wide-eyed sheep, seeing in him an anti-war knight in shining
armor, have themselves been swayed by this megalomanic appeal.
However, now their eyes have been irretrievably pried open, as has his
visor, revealing the disgusting slug crawling around inside.
It only remains for this revolting and repulsive excuse for a human
being to disagree with any of the rest of you, and your family members
will surely be similarly insulted and slandered by him.
As far as Hermit having no more control of the BBS than anyone else, I
fail to see how anyone else besides David could have booted Jonathan
Davis off of a chat, or banned Bill Roh from rejoining Virus. The facts
speak for themselves, and a sorry lot of facts they are.
