"On most other forums, when this happens, some host or moderator steps in. But Mudcat has a very hands-off approach, and behaviour that would be edited in other places is allowed to run on regardless of the hurt and damage it is causing. (Which is why I remain a guest, by the way)."

Oh, come off it, Tom. People aren't so thin skinned. If we were, my guts, for one, would be cascading all over the floor (don't say, it......). Vigorous debate is healthy; at least here it ends short of 'coats off and outside'. Glueman seems more than capable of standing up for himself - I'd love to get in and give you may two-pennorth but I'm in the very difficult position of agreeing in part with most of the warring factions. Bugger!
