Today, I tracked over one hundred attempts of abuse on ANN. I've been working on the filters and editing mechanisms for over four hours. Maintaining ANN is turning into real work, and all I see are tasks that I despise. This one individual, and the general attitude on ANN lately, is alienating visitors and making this site a horrible place to be. Most of what I see is insults and blind advocacy... I'm tired... And I can just see the negative comments again, in reply to me posting this...

Yeah, it's a bit bizzare. However, just like the attacks of 9-11 brought Americans and the world closer then they had ever been, I think we're seeing many Amigan's coming together again. I've seen posters supporting others whom they'd normally be at odds with. So yeah, there's a few lunatics out there causing trouble for us all, but we're in all this together and supporting each other. So I'm not worried about it too much, I just don't like to see people like Christian and Wayne getting shafted like this.
Christian (and Wayne too), you have my full support. Take what ever measures you need. I've noticed things here at ann have been very strange, especially today. I can appreciate the work you put in just to keep a site like this up.
And to quote a line from one of my favorite U2 songs;
"I know that the tide is turning 'round
so don't let the bastards grind you down".
