(If this is false then I apologize in advance for bringing it up). If this is true, it is very classless. I don't care how "wild-west" the atmosphere is on that site, that is completely unacceptable, and allowing a post like that to go up for a good laugh goes beyond bad taste.

I haven't seen that. Not unless it slipped in since last night.
Despite how classless some people seem to feel we are, it tends to stay centered on the person in question. Frankly I don't see a point in taking eyes off the target; if somebody's done something wrong there's more than enough ammo to work with. In other words, going after family or other similar low-blows is off limits.

So when presented with background like this, how am I supposed to think anything else except that I am witnessing a one-sided feud? Say what you want about Alwyn, but at least he apologized for what he did to Lyle and his readers, and he has kept a cool head during this debacle. He hasn't blogged or emailed his "list" to blackball or to attack Lyle or even to defend himself. He never even said a word when one of his family member's photo was desecrated (if that rumor is true).

Alwyn didn't have any grounds to do such a thing, but if the shoe were reversed and somebody'd epically stolen something from him, you can believe we'd be jumping on whomever had done the stealing.
It seems to keep getting boiled down to loyalty, as if we're on Lyle's side and others are on Alwyn's side. The only side here is who's involved in shadiness and who isn't. Beyond that there's no agenda.
