Prolly not a good idea to call someone a "pathetic fool" under any circumstances unless you have firsthand knowledge.

Those of us who know Bill, Steven, Lisa, Ben, Jonathan and the rest of the Badpuppy crew know them to be good, ethical people who are strong community supporters and sharp businesspeople.

While I can perhaps think of a person or two in the industry who might qualify for that moniker, Bill is about as far from it as one could get.
