The first sour note on the Chopra thread came from JakeS:

Chopra? Gimme a friggin' break! The man is a class-A woo-woo.

This insulting and obscene comment was still rated 4.0 the last time I looked...

And for some reason metavision is apologizing and the "community" graciously accepts the apology.

Are there actually standards, or is it just tyranny of the majority?

No defense of metavision allowed!

Before another of my many identities disappears, I have to say that it's not only Jerome who makes EuroTrib worthwhile, but Pierre also wrote some very interesting and challenging comments on my diaries, igor vincha is totally unpredictable and willing to respond stylishly to posts that come from the eerie beyond, and metavision contributed an openness of spirit that is the rarest of all things on these clubby little blogs.

Qui vit sans folie n'est pas si sage qu'il croit.
