Agreed wholeheartedly, Curator. One of the beauty's of the Mudcat is the ability to discuss and debate from a completely opposing standpoint without any violence or nastiness breaking out. I have made many friends here. I hope I count yourself as one of them even though we occasionaly disagree;-) This propensity for profanity and abuse seems endemic thoughout society so I guess it happening here should be no surprise. Sad all the same.

Keep on being civil and understanding each others viewpoint. It may eventualy rub off on some of the more obnoxious posters:-)

Cheers
