Not titled, but with that content.  (He was largely correct)

<also suspect he didn't post something entitled "give me my brain cells
back!" bitch about how stupid the language was, and then continue
posting anyways.  Mostly bitching about how stupid lojban is.>

No, he was (still is, as far as I can tell) rather more articulate.  But no less fanatical at the time -- and annoying after a while.
