Semantics, semantics. Twice the site owner had to slap him down publicly...both within the first 100 posts or so in the thread.

Cheers!

It isn’t any fun to feel ganged up upon in thread - even the best people have a tendency to react to being told to calm down with a negative reaction. Heck, I would have felt ganged upon on Coyote’s behalf except I read the thread backwards and missed the early hostility.

A couple of my favorite debating buddies, Willie Green and Travis can attest to that - its a natural reaction when one thinks one is in the right and is told to drop it.

I don’t want to speak for Jim (and can’t speak for Jim) but I would guess he understands that and its one factor in reversing bans when he is asked to do so.
