I'm a little bit in the middle here. I agree rational disagreement is one thing and personal attack and insult are another. The latter has no place here. However, while I have seen failed attempts at humor which can easily be mistaken for personal attack, I have seen little, if any,of what I consider actual personal attack. I think these threads have to be read with a little bit of a thick skin and a willingness to give others the benefit of the doubt regarding their intentions. As I said in another thread, it's easy enough to ignore posts/posters that have no redeeming qualities. If someone is truly offensive, ignoring them is the best remedy. I visit this forum for information, encouragement and entertainment. I would hate to see the forum become so politically correct that the entertainment value is lost.
