Always interesting to see some of those who brag they 'never strike the match' staying busy fanning the flames. Not calling names is not by itself a defense.

In a few months I will have been here for 21 years(Nov. '96), with very few personal attacks on me or attributed to me. It IS possible to discuss and debate without rancor, although the tendency seems to be programmed in the DNA of some....

(so... am I now fanning the flames myself? I hope not..... just trying to assess what has happened to the site.)
