Some of it was truly bizarre and made me wonder if certain medications were not being taken. Anyway, that's what I saw all too often. YMMV

This is totally true. If you disagree with Joel or certain of their moderators, they immediately attack your character, which is tiring. Not to defend John [who as he is the first to acknowledge, can get a little testy], but in addition to the thread that was linked, there was a review Joel did of the Bokers where John then posted a disagreement, and then Joel immediately launched into an ad hominem on John and his business, which is just nasty. If you miss that, you miss what set John off I think. And Joel has done exactly the same thing to a certain standout custom maker and others (and then sometimes his moderators clean up and delete the Joel's posts that make him look particularly childish).

Medications not being taken has jumped to my mind as a possibility too, though I suspect it's really just a personality trait. Anyway, I wanted to get in the part about the hackjob on John in the review section just so people understand there was an ad hominem that set him off, and Bruno I don't think John was attacking you at all, but now I'll stop talking about that gateway site for beginning wet shavers [at least until someone else has a funny story and I just can't help myself].
