That explains it then. When you have been subjected to Chad's behaviour
for a few years, your tolerance might wane. The problem is that we get
more and more new subscribers on this list like yourself. If Chad is
allowed to continue his disruption its simply bad for the project. Ok,
we all have some heated discussions from time to time and disagreements.
Some people say things at in haste and then regret it and apologise and
we all then get on together. Its a matter of line drawing and I think
the longer serving members of the group are saying Chad has stepped over
the line once too often.

Intelligent argument is fine to test views, no one is against that.

And with that attitude you probably will :-)
