Is this going to be the first FFT thread in which comments are removed by the mods??!

I don't think so - but it sure made me take a good hard look at myself and how I react to certain types of comments.

Often I will get up and walk into another room for a few minutes to compose myself after reading a particularly vicious attack. But sometimes the urge to "hit back" is far too strong.

The best way I have found to help myself in response to a particularly (IMO) ugly or nasty post, is to reply with "I value my posting privileges here, so I will not respond in kind ........"

So far it has worked.

"Bless your heart!" is a good all-purpose response, too. And I'm experimenting with "Bless your bowels!"
