Herb,

The issues you mentioned are more typical of what happens on SI threads. That is, insults and name calling are more typical than are grotesque photographs of human mutilation as we saw this morning.

In dealing with the points you describe, it seems to me it would be best to separate individuals, and individual personalities, from the process itself. In other words, we don't want to necessarily get into the personal aspects of any one individual, but we do want to deal with the larger issues such as you suggested--> name calling and insults.

So my question to you would be: what is the best way to deal with name calling and insults? Start a new thread to avoid the perpetrator, as was done with the main Iomega thread? To me, that seems to be running from the issue rather than dealing with it directly.

BTW, I appreciate your posting specific information and references. I'd like to keep this thread as professional as possible. Specific references are helpful and insightful. Your post was a definite step in that direction. Thanks.

Ice
