[Mr Ramsbotham]

We all patiently await your well reasoned, well sourced reply.

I was being sarcastic. Is that reasoned and sourced enough? Pax brother. :-)

I don’t know...

The decay of manners, the insults, the outright rude comments, the sarcasm here lately has turned this discussion forum into a room of immature children.

It is beyond me why the moderators allow this decay of civility.

Sarcasm is, at is heart, simple rude behavior meant to insult one person to inflate one’s own pride. At its heart, not a conservative value.

Best wishes
