Please keep in mind, everyone, that over email like this, we may have
NO idea how someone might be feeling at any given time. That does not
excuse inappropriate behavior if that is what has happened in Ken's
case, but please don't burn him at the stake especially before he gets
a chance to tell his side, as Shadow ace also mentioned.

If someone's worst offense is giving my name and number to a
telemarketer, it is highly annoying and very inappropriate on a few
levels, and it should be stopped, but it really isn't the worst thing
that can happen to me. Please keep things in perspective.

Annoying is one thing.... losing an eye is quite worse. (or whatever)
