Keith, SA, Agreed, that is a sensible view of the rough and tumble of a worthwhile discussion board .... I hold that view too for the most part. Diversity is everything (did anyone read my review of Ishmael ?)
The "one person" issue is a matter of patience ... .and an exception to the general "tolerance" ... a nasty dripping tap that has been dripping incessantly for more years than I've been here. It just has to stop. The people that join need to be given a chance to understand, not simply dismissed because they do not understand. It's "fun", a diversion, for a year or two, but we're into a second decade ?
