Yes Mr. Powell, how dare you suggest that people use a perfectly civilized
and legal form of recourse such as "filing a complaint"!
Furthermore, Mr. Hogan, I don't believe he was "prompting" anyone... he
was posing rhetorical questions intended to spur debate on the issue, and,
as is evident by your "shocked" response, I believe he succeeded.
