Why equate an attempt to make money with "unmitigated greed"? The
Soviet Union is gone, and Communism is in the dustbin of history.
Here in America, it's perfectly reasonable to do business and make
money.

You just can't get money through theft and deception. Otherwise,
making money is a GOOD thing. Most video poker players try their best
to make as much money as they can. Maybe the socialists would attack
that as "unmitigated greed" too.

Why "bludgeon"? There's no evidence that the Wiz is doing anything
other than honestly reporting what happened. If it's true, then it's
journalism, not bludgeoning. This is the Information Age. Spreading
information is a good thing for everyone. The Wiz tells his story,
visitors to his site can read it if they freely choose to do so, and
they can decide for themselves whether it affects their decisions
about playing at the Strat. What's wrong with that?
