Well maybe for some people it is - it is just that you can't really get anywhere trying to have a discussion here. I don't know about anyone else, but I have a job and kids and a really busy life and just don't have the time to keep trying to defend myself and my feelings. I'm beginning to agree. I posted today in the hopes of having a civil discussion and end up having Gerry threaten to rip me a new asshole! Situation normal. Today I too coming to the realisation that, since the forum moderators appear to find this kind of hostility generally acceptable, I might also have to just leave this forum to these folk who obviously have their own exclusive, more aggressive agenda. Also I fully admit that when I do post I find that I'm repeating the same old gripes and I'm sure that is growing to sound grating.
To be honest if it wasn't for people like you posting stuff that I react a bit to I probably wouldn't express myself here any more. I don't feel that the amosphere here is anything like as respectful as it was years ago and even back then we had some heated goings on.
