I have to ask a question:
what in this message has led everyone to believe that
Michael Knapp is a malicious ass? When I read it, my
reaction was that Michael is a newbie who simply knows
very little about our circuit. At worst, he is
ignorant to a lot of the teams on the circuit. That,
however, can just as easily come from inexperience as it
can from arrogance.

The only part of his
message I saw that could be taken as arrogant was the
first word: "Interesting." Depending on how he meant
it, it could be an insult. But IMHO that's a lot to
infer from one word.

I feel like we're
experiencing a re-enactment of _The Crucible_ every few days
on this message board. While Mick_Mars2000 deserved
it, I'm not sure if Michael Knapp does.
