How cool it must to get such a ringing endorsement of ones controversial 
editing style from the founder of the project. How typical of Rick, 
bless 'im, to interpret it in such a peculiarly negative way.

For what its worth, I believe the action-hero analogy is wrong, and too 
kind to Rick.

See for example the thread just up the page from this one called 
"Blocked ISP Proxy". The action hero equivalent of blocking a proxy to 
ban one vandal is blowing up a bus full of innocents just to get to the 
one bad guy. Hardly something Keanu or Bruce would ever do?
