I would like to note a few observations:
Yes it is sad that "feelings" must be kept in check on this board. That is an attempt to get us through this time of enflamed emotions, and has been relatively successful.
It was only after I had to intervene that respect returned to this discussion, had we decided to show such in the first place, this would have been avoided.
I find it ....unfortunate....that the people I have come to rely on as major contributors to this board, feel the need to disrespect each other, but I can understand the reasons. That said, I request that we all understand the needs of each side to be heard, and phrase our response accordingly.
Please guys.....it is hard enough to keep this forum in check , without losing the very stability built into it by our long standing members. I would appreciate your support in keeping this area civil....and keeping those who make the this board....active.
