"Misguided" ... "hurtful" ... "uncalled for" ... don't sound very civil or mutually respectful ... do they?

I know you're trying very hard and very earnestly to herd cats ... but in attempting to placate the unplacatable ... have you unwittingly made unkind and unlearned commentary of the type which you yourself would justifiedly pull down?

Just wondering.

Let me just say something....I have known our host, Steve Byk, for a number of years. Like everyone he isn't perfect, but he's about as nice and thoughtful a guy as you will ever meet, and he has graciously donated this board ( and his time ) for the enjoyment of others. Thus, this is effectively his house, and even if you don't agree with everything he says or does, it borders on ungracious to perpetuate a discussion that he has attempted to quell.

You're a bright guy, BB, so why not just let this one go. Surely there are plenty of civil arguments you can find here.
