It's probably safe to say tho, that lots of folks get pissed off in a great many of the threads here. that's part of the fun of cf-community :) I think some of the concern that Gel is expressing, which I'll admit to feeling myself upon seeing Judith's reply, is that... well, is there a distinction between Michael the "list owner" and Michael the community participant? If someone disagrees with you (Michael the community participant), do they need to tread lightly for fear of pissing off Michael the list owner? Surely there have been threads between Robert and Gruss or Gruss and Sam or even Larry and myself that were just as "bad" as the thread in question, and none of them were subject to intervention.
I will say it was very cool to see Judith go all "lioness protecting her mate". If that's all it was, that's cool. I'd like to think if my wife was on the list, she'd stand up for me (altho truth be told we'd probably be the ones needing intervention). But brandishing the "list owner" title made it feel like it isn't necessarily a wise move to disagree with you (or to disagree as vehemently as Judah did) in a way that makes you different than simply being "Michael the community participant" in the context of these discussions.
