Sorry, I can't stop laughing!!
Just go look for that post where one of the manipulators admits to bashing and states his intent to do it again. You know, the one that says "ten times if unopposed and 25 times if opposed". Several people have it copied, ready for disclosure.
Excerpt:
"....rest assured the criticism will continue in its regular fervor. I'm good for 25 posts before I tire of the debate as I did in the last one. Without opposition I'm probably good for about 10."
Enjoy!
