Primitives don't like it when people who are more intelligent than they can ever hope to be (IOW every conservative on the planet) gets in their face and tells them off. They don't like this site or the former CU for that very reason. In this case, Chris, who generally was in agreement with the other posters, got in their face and told them things they didn't want to hear. They're too emotionally troubled to handle it, so they get rid of the messenger while the message remains to haunt them. Lord Marblehead a/k/a EarlG is too weak to intervene.
