For my part, my response to the evil, despicable dead that Andy Kramek committed is to boycott any seminar or a conference where Andy Kramek is a speaker. The organizers should know that they lose my $$ by inviting Andy K.

>I'm considering to write an email to MS, asking them to think at least twice before they again award the MVP status to AK and MA. This is not nice of me, I know. But here are some facts and arguments:
>
>1) AK has put his MVP status in the signature of the letter and in this case I regard that as an abuse (see: http://hyp.viafox.nl/ut/nnak.pdf).
>
>2) A MVP can be expected to not only be superior in technical knowledge, but also to adhere to good rules of conduct. I'm of opinion that they haven't in this case.
>
>3) The MVP program tries to stimulate the community members being helpful to the community, esp. in a technical way. It is exactly that type of attitude that AK and MA tried to frustrate in the case of NN. On many occasions they intimidated her to refrain from being present in the forums so much time. The letter to the employer is the ultimate proof of this. Also they criticized her for the quality of her answers, at the same time not accepting her occasional criticism of their answers, thus further intimidating her.

>
>Also I'm considering to propose MS to give NN a MVP award for the coming year. A collection of her many contributions of the past year in the various forums makes very clear that her knowledge and willingness to help are exceptional.

>If you're interested we might send the email on behalf of more community members. It may be that you don't agree with one of my considerations, that's fine with me. Or perhaps you have your own arguments and want to write your own email, that's also fine with me. Or perhaps you want to criticize my arguments here first, that's also fine with me. I can be reached via private message, private email and here publicly.
