"inconsiderate jerk"

For such a formal list, that is so professional!  I'm sorry that you and EVERYONE
else found our feud uninteresting.  The majority of the crap I have seen across this
list hasn't impressed me that much.  Some of it has been interesting, such as the
entire conversation about good samaritan laws.  For everyone else, I'm sorry if you
have found me an "inconsiderate jerk", but I was only trying to bring to light an
important subject matter that does involve all backpackers!
