So it's OK for John Forester to personally attact virtually everyone who disagrees with him ...
I agree that the mods should come down on John when he gets insulting but that still is not a license for open insult season on John. My general rule of thumb is only insult when insulted and then I am done and I think it would be helpful if others at least followed this practice (but better yet would be not to allow the insults in the first place.)
