Least I know someone is reading these :) Sorry, I didn't mean to yank anyone's chain and I am really not the other word for a mule as you indicated. I am an honest hardworking kind of guy.
I was merely making a comparison of where people take the law into their own hands, which is not right. KKK members are fed by hate and conviction for what they believe in. They lack the capacity to look beyond their hate. I didn't call anyone anything I was just comparing this Lycos approach to a lynch mob mentality like KKK. Agree or not, fools rush in, where wise people think it over first. I've read their site, when it was available, and feel they are on a witch hunt and I don't blame anyone for that, spammers are the scum of the Internet along with those who profit from hosting them. However I think that deeper thinkers are not going to just assume they are attacking only the names on reputable black lists as indicated and give this approach some more thought before they jump on the bandwagon. Just reread the original posts on this and you will see what I meant by lynch mob mentality. First instinct for many of us that are tired of fighting the spammers (self included) was hop right on it without further thought. That is how lynch mobs get started. After reading about it and considering how it could be wrong I've decided against it and I'm trying to get everyone else to see why. Now if you feel that makes me that back end of a mule as indicated in your first sentence please kiss one for me :) Please note, no good guys were harmed in the making of this post :) Seriously, I don't mean any harm to anyone nor am I slinging mud at people who don't think like I do. Hope there is no further hard feelings as I never intended to create any and that is not my nature. Just want people to think about what they may be doing before they actually do it.

Yes, we have a difference of opinion on the matter but your stooping to such sophomoric and banal name calling tactics as equating those that have views different from your own (you are the uninformed one that is trying to say that Lycos is doing things it clearly is not doing) to being members of a despicable hate group shows the you must be the one hiding under the white hood. >logical carriage of justice. This whole thread is starting to get >repetitive, even my own posts on the subject :) I could sink to your level and use many "kindergarten level" rejoinders to your attempt at argument but I fear that your demonstrated mental capacity for actually exercising logic and reason merely demonstrates that you would be defenseless in a debate.
