[OpenID] Anti-endorsement of Eran Hammer-Lahav

[Eddy Nigg (StartCom Ltd.)]

I seconded Eran before the voting period and would do anytime again! 
Calling publicly for an *anti-endorsement* of a candidate has nothing 
lost in our community, from my point such a person should be banned. If 
we don't respect ourselves and respect others, than nobody will. (I 
would fight for the right to argue, but not at such a low personal level).

And for you Mr. Shadow in the Garden, even though I don't care one bit 
about who you are and even though I know you from other groups as well, 
I prefer you keep being an alias and just a shadow. Besides, if you 
can't say your name I wonder what you have to hide...perhaps a bad 
name....?!
