If the analogy were accurate, I would not blame the bear. But you're 
missing one key thing: *the bear is not chained*.

You can quit Nomicron anytime you want to.

You could have done so back when it became clear that they were going 
to impeach you.

But you didn't.

You decided, for reasons I can't begin to fathom, to hang around making 
life miserable for them and for us.

I have heard nothing that indicates that there is any reason for me to 
dislike Nomicron, except that you hate them. You have called them 
stupid, conservative, ignorant, even fascist, but you have yet to 
provide any evidence for you case.

And quite frankly, I don't want you to.

What I do want you to do is to stop clogging the discuss list with your 
rants against them. Before you joined their game, as far as I can tell, 
you were happy, they were happy, and we were happy. Now you're enraged, 
we're irritated, and they're paranoid.

What good does it do anyone for you to try to fan flames between us? I 
don't hate Nomicron, and I don't think they hate me, and I especially 
don't think that your ranting and raving will inspire any such hatred.

I don't presume to know what happened in Nomicron to cause this feud 
between you and them. I also don't presume to care. What happened 
between you and them is exactly that - between you and them. I don't 
want to hear how much they hate you, or how much you hate them, or how 
much you want us to hate them too.

So quit their game, or stay if you want to, but either way, don't 
bother us with it.
