Always Something Instructive?
I am not familiar with SMA or his story, but perhaps in the case of the subject matter of this thread, which is about how one can be screwed in this part of the world, does whatever his experience has been give him credibility to raise an opinion on the topic? Most readers are able to distinguish the effect of anger, bitterness and other influences in the posts. Even if he did something to bring it upon himself, would it be instructive for the rest of us to know what happened to him and how it occurred - unless it is so far off the norm that there is no cautionary value in it, whatsoever?
