" I don't know how to say it any more simply. People can disagree all

they want. People can believe whatever they want. It comes down to

only one thing.

They cannot call each other names. No " ridiculous " , no " dangerous " .

It's not tolerated because, I'm sorry to say, it escalates, people

freak-out, and then everyone forgets why we're here. I've seen it a

thousand times.

" It's written in black and white on the front page. No name calling.

If someone can't follow this simplest of the " golden rules " of

etiquette, then this is not the list for them. I've been sick too

long to waste one more second of my time on this kind of stuff. "

" IMO, being called a " smarty pants " is pretty tame... "

" So saying that, Tony, even if your offensive remarks sound more like

grade school name calling to me than serious attacks... "

I don't care a bit about the content of Tony's posts. It was the tolerated name

calling

I was taking offense to, just as I said in my first post.

Looking forward to more (and the norm) discussions of *verifiable* anecdotal or

experimental data relating to I & I's in the absence of verbal abuse...
