Yes, he's a mean-spirited ass, but he's our dark half. I keep finding myself wanting to (and sometimes yielding to the temptation) bash brainless posters and especially noobs who are just too damned lazy to explore the site before posting questions that have simple answers that can be found in 30 seconds by anyone with fingers and a mouse. I've seen it from others too (you know who you are nab76).

Azreal did that for us, sucking up the abuse for being an ass that followed most of his posts, and allowed us to maintain our personal equilibria.
