I have personnal reasons to not like Lauda though I wouldn't go on a crusade against him/her and, contrary to you, know how to act in a civil manner and work and collaborate even with people I don't really like.

I do come to like TMAN though, mainly as I have a lot of empathy for him as your duo really reminds me of my relationship with TECSHARE.

So obviously I can only feel sympathy towards the guy.

But feel free to call sympathy asslicking of course.
