Who is one of the worst ratings abusers on this blog.  He has at various times declared war on the entire ratings system and indiscriminately handed out poor ratings to people in the hopes of making the system unworkable.  Needless to say, he's the first one to scream "censorship!" when he sees ratings that he considers too low on comments he agrees with.  He's also a truculent sort who loves to instigate fights.  My guess is he's tired of being driven out of Texas bars by macho Urban Cowboy types, and he compensates for his sense of shame by acting like them in cyberspace.
