We have a sense of community here, along with the usual collaterals of explicit and implicit standards of behavior and discourse. We do, indeed. We don't like straw men or trolls (which I can't help observing are at two rather opposite ends of the materials spectrum, whatever that might signify). Even when we lose our tempers, that doesn't mean we don't still believe in those standards. We are human, after all. Nick
