I began contributing to this thread with the hope that others would share their reasoning on this topic, but, alas, there has been very little in the way of reasoning and very much in the way of name calling.

I read this thread beginning to end and found ONE instance of what might be considered name calling. ONE is *very much*? Where's the rest of it?

All of the above were intended as pejoratives by the author to another thread contributor. It's not a matter of having thick skin, people are free to write what they like within limits. But in general, it is not helpful to advance the discussion for posters to be baiting or insulting each other.
