OK, that's one (rumored) post by one anonymous yahoo who we have no
reason to believe, cited by another anonymous yahoo who we have no
reason to believe. Where are the rest of the "hundreds of posts" you
claim to exist? I'll accept even ONE hundred.

Be informed not opinionated.

Why don't you simply ignore them.
Ever hear of a kilfile? Do you normally get upset easily? Maybe you need
counceling..
