ES-I think now that Alex has poked her head in it might be more effective if this thread turned into a bunch of positive pages in the next few hours/days. I think if a few things were defined here regarding etiquette it might help. Feel free one and all to chip in with what you think doesn't belong or needs definition.
By example, Naughty1-your response- to me it was saner than any of the other posts you made simply because you wrote in in plain type. Every time I see bold, underlined stuff I tend to treat it as emphasis. Entire missives written this way indicate to me a lack of decorum. You don't have to shout to be heard here. Have your opinion, just tone it down a bit and act like everybody else. Then, for weight, the occasional bold capital underline drives your point home.
You and snaike have been going at it since your first post where he thought you might be somebody else from the past with a new identity. You get to be the water and we'll let snaike be the oil (oiy!) and we all know what those two liquids do. Leave it there.
Being right is not so important that you have to hammer away at something to prove it. Calling out inflammatory remarks shouldn't have to happen. We should recognize them and act accordingly. Responding to flaming comments is no better than making them. Don't respond and it goes away.
I like using the smilies when I think I might be taken wrong. "LOL" in communications helps keep the reader from going down the wrong idea path. Whatever works for you use it to let the reader know you're not a flaming jerk. JMO and IMHO work real well to indicate you're not attacking, just voicing your opinion. Give it a try.
