I agree. More than once I've received email support advising me to stop wasting my time on these FR threads and directing me to some of these "more hospitable climes".
It's easy to see why the anger, hostility and just plain meanspirited tone of these threads drives rational thinkers away.
Unfortunately I've always found it fun arguing with inarticulate hot-headed neanderthals..
I say "unfortunately" because I am trying to discipline myself.
And the challenge is to remain cool and rational while making my points without getting sucked into the name-calling and personal insults.
You're doing fine amd making good points.
