I'd really appreciate if the next person to reply thinks about what they're about to say before they say it.

Ask yourself, would you say this to Stevie's face? If the answer is no, move on. If the answer is yes, I'm sure he'd oblige.

For the record, Stevie is one of the most talented and well respected members of the UK tech community, so once again, think before you comment.

I wouldn't say it to his face, but that doesn't mean it doesn't influence my actions in regards to him.

I'm also concerned about the message this sends to others -- that since Stevie suddenly spent massively to try and coerce his way to meeting someone who could release the domain his company probably doesn't really need, that this is acceptable behavior we should all try.

Just because a person is highly accomplished and respected doesn't mean that person can't be mentally ill. John Nash Jr was.
