Another e-mail, forwarded to other FOBs included:

We don’t need him and should try to do something about it BUT ALEX OWNS THE BOARD - and he is making a nice salary now as a writer (although I never saw him write that well on the board, so I am wondering who really wrote his blog in the NY Times and his book) from everything WE did to keep that board running - and still do. Why should he make all the money and get all the fame? He should have shut-**** off MONTHS ago and anyone who lurks and then posts hurtful comments should be banned too - but they're not because a lot of them are INSIDERS in THE BUSINESS - probably half of them are stall muckers, hotwalkers and wannabes - but so was Alex before we brought him fame and fortune.

(Quick note: I am broke and am not making a nice salary.)
