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.
