Friend Hauro, when I moderated making fun of someone else's name was a major no no that lead to some suspensions.
I like some things you say Gene. But making fun of someone's name is beneath a 6th grader much less an adult. Ed and I often don't agree (though oddly now that I've become a Wesleyan we seem to agree a little more often) I certainly defend the right to expect that his good name will not be maligned here.
