I think PoC's only offense was "praising with faint damns".
Lots of people seek "opposing-side" info. Observing, as PoC said.
This is, in my opinion, preferable to having one's mind made
up by, e.g., some magazine reviews.
Take a look, from that vantage point, at what PoC wrote:

The big problem is, of course, that Führer-wannabes _are_ "designing their own".
But OTOH, if they keep most of the ugly iceberg hidden on their list, "whining"
might be all that was available for PoC to see, from analysis of the posts as
they stood.
Anyroad, calling Duke et al "Whining White Wussies" doesn't get PoC invited to any
pointy-head nightshirt shenanigans, I'd bet.
