That's not on. That's a fine example of how not to build a community. That's an "attack by lassitude" - admittedly a phrase that I just invented. Personally I think that many of Rik's recent posts are nonsense (that's the bits I don't understand; maybe the problem is mine). Some of the rest I disagree with. But I won't interpret others' silence as meaning anything at all, other than that they don't reply for whatever reason. It is quite wrong to draw implications from their silence Freedom is indivisible. Freedom implies that one is free to be wrong, free to be a bloody idiot, free to irritate people. Free to agree, free to disagree. If you don't like Rik's posts, or his views or his socks or whatever, you are also free: free to delete the message thread unread. Use a kill filter. Read that again: freedom is indivisible. Slainte Gordon
