No, I didn't keep it alive so it would come to this!  There was indeed
plenty of flaming back in '85 and '86, but it was a joyous flaming
filled with passion for music.  People didn't care whether their egos
were slightly bruised, because they enjoyed music and discussing music
so much.  People could speak honestly and openly without worrying that
others would whine that their poor fragile sensitivities had been
hopelessly damaged.

But that kind of flaming is unacceptable to Jorn.  He wants protection
from anyone saying anything that might dent his little ego, so now
he's going to fill Love-Hounds with the kind of flaming he wants to
see.  And folks, it turns out that the kind of flaming that Jorn wants
to see fill this group is enough to make you want to slit your wrists.
