I can't figure out if you guys are all just young where it doesn't hurt 
yet, or I have just become too tender, but all these terrific 
discussions punctuated with quite personal attacks are a bit of an *ouch*.

The phrase someone laid on me, I think, is *ad hominum* which describes 
the making of a personal attack as a part of the discussion. Appears to 
violate some SoC pattern of communication.

Speaking only for myself of course, I have been amazed at the quality of 
intelligence among participants, and have not seen one person yet who 
seems worthy of such a personal attack. Very sharp fellows, one and all.

Nice place to learn about how to understand Avalon better though! Just 
hard to filter through all the <JaneYouIgnorantSlut/> stuff. At least I 
finally am beginning to get a handle on which containers are blessed, 
and which not, and how to use certain methods. This is good, thanks.
