i like the idea of lots of personal attacks in Vancian style, heehee.
If the ideas discussed do not sometimes lead to, say, over-vigorous rhetoric, then i would suggest it would be an un-interesting board. You will notice that the posting rate the last few weeks has rocketed - surely that is good even if some of what u read is offensive to u(due to supposed politics or morality rather than obscenity, which I deplore.)
Anyway, it seems to me that everyone is anxious to avoid obscene posting and personal attacks (I have not seen any of either), and for what it is worth I would support that idea.
There is apparently some goodwill left on both sides, lets bury the hatchet, though I would not exclude the possibility of it all kicking-off again.
