We should allow people to be hateful to an innocent person just because?
My dislike for what he had to say, is a lot different than his "dislike" for her. She didn't do anything to deserve any of this. He, on the other hand, obviously thought it would be cool to attack someone, who had done nothing to anyone. If you are calling our disdain for what he had to say, "prejudice", then I think you might have the definition confused with something else.
Prej·u·dice
[prej-uh-dis] 
Show IPA noun, verb, -diced, -dic·ing. noun 1. an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason.
2. any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable.
3.unreasonable feelings, opinions, or attitudes, especially of a hostile nature, regarding a racial, religious, or national group.
I think we all can understand what he meant by his post, so we have reason to feel the way we do.
I didn't even know he existed before he posted this..so my feeling about what he posted, can't be preconceived. They are based on the fact that he posted what he posted.
I think our opinions are far from unreasonable.

As for my business comment, that was directed towards DFWRaven, not providers in particular. His comment about NYers is not much different than what the OP did. Drop his post over at the NY ECCIE board and he'd most likely get a lashing too.
These situations do seem to bring the same providers to the table who like to vent as well.
Yeah, we all have opinion and lists. I've crossed off provider names on my list simply because of comments/opinions they have made here. I don't doubt I've been added to someones DNS list for the same reason. There is a difference between those two.
