I think that his criticism of Louis and Trygve is fully justified. It's important to for everyone to try to adhere to high standards when writing on a public forum, especially serious ones like cryonet, and when people don't, they deserve to be condemned. Are your posts a lot longer than everyone else's? Do your posts evince much more careless writing than everyone else's? Would your statements be better directed to individuals rather than to a community? Prudent and polite people will try to answer those, and many other similar questions before they post. Calling CP (Charles Platt) the "Cryonet Police" is an unfair shot because neither he nor anyone else (Kevin Brown perhaps excepted) can take any actions. They can only denounce what they believe needs to be denounced, and, when they show good taste and good judgment, I'm very glad when they do.
