            The world already feels a better place.:)
But in all seriousness it only takes the right voice from somewhere to calm some posters down.
I have no problem saying things like that above on occasion, h as I do not see this site has some fantasy war zone of "Bulls Vs Bears"
I think some see it as turning on each other, I see it has being human.
I think I should do it more, but thankfully up until recently it had subsided a fair bit.
I have said much the same before about other things.
But I don't think any of us can say we haven't crossed the line in manners and fairness here. I can only think of one or two people who I've never seen be rude, and I'm sadly not one of those! I think none of us can make a direct ''finger point'' and those that do perhaps don't recognise they have done the similar to others?

I agree, I have been rude also but never singled any one out or followed them around to abuse. (Mind you I do like a good spar every now and then and GD is always willing participant
)
But to say that even people who I have not got on with (carolt is perhaps one of the few examples I can think of)) I have always made sure they realize that I am not trying to be personal and that it was just a debate and that I never carry a grudge.
I think most of us may lose our :cool: every now and then in debate.
It is when people do not debate and make abuse, insults trolling (what ever the term is) their only contribution or just to derail a debate I find unacceptable.
Sometimes I find it a bit unnerving, but that may just be me.0
