I think we all realize that Dr. Braem has a low tolerance for criticism. I 
also think that there are those that are more than happy to bait him into 
situations where he responds on a personal level.  The last comment I sent to this 
list dealt with much the same topic.  I likewise have a short fuse on several 
topics but have been controlling them considerably for the best of the group.  
Sometimes the best answer is no answer.  We know what Dr. Braem's credentials 
are.  We know he also knows the he "is right" and to his credit he often is.  
But, much of what I have seen is just baiting to get a reaction.

No, I don't want Dr. Braem off this list, I want those that have nothing to 
do but make problems and bait others and get personal for their own selfish 
reasons off this list. Allowing those individuals to run off knowledgeable 
individuals with their baiting and personal attacks is a disservice to all of us. 
Keep it civil and remember that other people may have a valid difference of 
opinion.  And, the best response to personal attacks is to not answer them.  The 
individuals making them will clearly show their colors and we will know them 
for what they are. The one thing they cannot tolerate is to not having anyone 
pay attention to them.
