Even though I consider Mike a brother, I have pretty much stayed out of the ongoing virtual battles with Kerodin for the same reason I let men settle their own fights. But, as I will in real life, I do get involved when someone else jumps in, at which point, friends enter the fray.
That's why I was not going to give a link to the latest on SSI, that is, until this comment showed up:
Y'know, Sparky, what we all intuitively know has been pretty well corroborated: internet trolls are sadists and psychopaths. Further documentation shows many are infiltrators and disruptors serving the agenda of enemies. Look at you, hoping a person struggling with cancer goes terminal. What a demented and despicable loser you are -- that and a coward, for doing it anonymously.
As we're known by the company we keep, it certainly does not reflect well for those on the side of the argument you purport to ally yourself with. Were I part of that faction, I would repudiate and condemn you, and if I knew, let everyone else know who you are and publicly disassociate myself from you.
The only positive out of this is that no one so twisted in hatred can possibly be happy and whole, and have love in his life. Which means you know that you're a contemptible loser, and have to live with it and seethe in it. No wonder you rage so against those who do not share your self-imposed defects.
When Mike dies, as we all will, good men will mourn his passing and continue to benefit from his legacy. When you go, of the few who are even aware of it, the prevailing sentiment will no doubt be "Who cares? The guy was a real asshole."
