Like Bert, I'm used to writing things formally and as concisely as possible, and find it difficult to break the habit. I must admit I wasn't aware of any less tolerance than usual, there's been the usual point scoring, but I've always taken that as I assume it to be intended, in good fun. I'm sure none of us set out to offend, and whilst I agree with you Ferrara, perhaps we should ask that those reading also apply some tolerance and don't assume the worst. As my favourite saying goes:

"Never ascribe to malice anything that can be explained by incompetance."
