Yeah and everyone who posts in this thread, no matter the content is afflicted.

To the extent that none of us is perfect, I suppose you are correct. Otherwise, I disagree. Many good points have been made here...on all sides. The content of the discussion has often been informative and healthy. It's the WAY the discussion has been conducted that is so objectionable. That's the appeal--and the horror--of these faceless, asynchronous, Internet exchanges.

Am I looking for the silver lining in a really big, black, unpleasant storm cloud? Perhaps. But I think out of this will come some good, albeit at a high price.

Chip,

I just came across this discussion thread and, after skimming through, I can say that I totally agree with your post. Bravo!

I only wish that more people like you would post here, people who can separate valid points from emotional vomit and mean spirited personal attacks.

Best,
