Thank you Frank. > A wise man once observed it is best not to engage in a battle of > wits with an unarmed man." Stuart responded: > ST: It seems Frank must have a dig till the end.

And your compulsive reply implies the same thing about you. > Why does Frank not just engage in the science instead of alleging > offensive dialogue in order to avoid doing so? Because it is pointless to try to discuss science with someone who keeps jabbing you with a verbal stick? > I am committed to the scientific debate in spite of Frank's direct > insult to me.

Stuart, I probably made a mistake not jumping on you with both feet the first time you stepped over the line many months ago. I had hoped that your research and experience would be of sufficient value to our members that it would balance your occasionally difficulties getting along. Instead, while you have indeed shared valuable information with us, you have also helped to lower the civility of the discussion. The list used to be a much friendlier place. The takeover by a handful of argumentative "tech types," as they're so fondly referred to by some, has fundamentally changed the tone of the group and driven away who-knows-how-many people who might have stayed and contributed to the discussion in a positive way. I think it's been a mistake. > Lighten up guys, and let's splash around in the mud a bit. Life is far > to short to live it with the bow still on the closed box. Sorry Stuart, I just had the carpets cleaned. This isn't a mud wrestling match. It's supposed to be a pleasant get-together of friends and associates who share a common interest and a desire to help people. While it is welcomed here, spirited discussion especially demands a spirit of respect. Again, you must choose what standards of behavior you will maintain. That decision will influence the action I take toward you in my role as list owner.
