I think that the posts from the Marqui people, Head Lemur especially, are much more inflamed and out of control than this guy’s post on his own journal with no names mentioned. Hell, he didn’t call any of us bloggers names… that he reserved for the COMPANY that he didn’t explicitly name.

As I said on the Marqui blog and elsewhere, I don’t know David, except through Janet’s post on the Marqui Blog.
