Hello Evan:
This is the only warning (and the first I have ever given), keep your
content on a professional level. The OTnow list is about professional
disagreement (it's one way the profession grows) but the list is not about
personal attacks.
You have a simple choice. Stop the personal attacks or unsubscribe.
