In the immortal words of Rodney King: can't we all just get along?
Who cares who skewers who? Its all in the spirit of good debate...over a topic that can't be that important to any of us
Gee whiz...if I couldn't take being insulted and criticized...I wouldn't be married
That would be nice, as would civil discourse, however the two posters in question have a pattern of highly abusive behavior on this forum. One of them, as noted, was explicitly enjoined from posting to me back in January following a harassment incident in which several of his posts were removed for content in violation of FR policies. That poster has been fibbing about the incident ever since, and in the course of the last week resumed making posts to me with the explicit purpose of igniting a flamewar. That's why I called the mods - to put an end to this before it advanced any further.
