And I’m talking about a civil, relatively sober party. At such a gathering, spirited discussions are appropriate. Calling one another “idiots” and “assholes” is not, if the terms are not used in jest, which in this case they’re not. FFL hasn’t become bland and colorless due to our more civil behavior. Personal insults do not contribute to the discussions, they only debase them. Rick, do you honestly thing those that use those terms regularly are listening? I certainly think they’ll read my post. And they and others cleaned up their acts after we collectively resolved to do so. They’re just backsliding a bit. Partly because I haven’t been very tuned into what’s been going on and I’ve let them get away with it. As you know, I’m very reluctant to play cop, but I’m obviously the one to do it if anyone is going to, and I do think that FFL was improved by our determination to refrain from personal attacks. The quality of the discussions quickly took a turn for the better. These guys are intelligent and I think they see that and will be willing to cooperate. No virus found in this outgoing message.
