Kat and Aine:

If you found my posting harsh, then it probably was. But I found Art's posting to be equally harsh. Was he being "tolerant and respectful"?

I didn't say that he should leave. As I said, I hope he doesn't, because his usual input is valuable.

His message just sounded frustrated and rude, so I told him what his options were. Was anything I said really incorrect? Would you have rushed to his defence if the original message had been posted by Gargoyle? I think your response would have been much different. But no matter who it comes from, it was rude.

That's all.
