On the contrary, I already apologized to insects everywhere for suggesting
that Proyect the Snitch was one of them.   

Of course, the It comment was intended as a metaphor. Sid considered it
dehumanizing. Well ... all I can say is that when one is a pro-management
snitch, one can expect that others will denounce you with words not of
your liking. I suppose Sid -- if he was consistent (which he's not) would
also take exception to the very colorful and "dehumanizing" way in which
Jack London referred to scabs. I. however, have no sympathy for scabs or
snitches (of for Stalinist apologists who defend them).
