 assure you that there is no law against being stupid.
Laws against stupidity are as impractical to enforce say as changing the 
speed of light or Planck's Constant. In a metro area of 20 million 
people, about 10 million of them are going to stupider than the other 
ten million. That's alot of stupid. The biggest waste of time in fact 
are the stupid people who call other stupid people stupid. It is much 
like shouting at the sky that it is dark and then to feel accomplishment 
when morning comes. Most Stupid people who call others stupid act out of 
fear of being detected as stupid themselves. And the smart ones are too 
busy and smart to get involved in this.
Also if you really believe some idiotic internet newsgroup post has 
critically damaged Fritz Reul's reputation, then make your case for that 
and don't just assume that it is so because the event is disgusting.
