About tone.
At worst E was suggesting that those who highly admire RR check their premises, i.e. they're wrong.
And (while I qualify the following as Just My Opinion) anyone who feels somebody saying "your facts are wrong" is an insult is being entirely too sensitive. It's a departure from our adult obligation to separate the issue from the person. And I personally require all of us on Feelies to at least convincingly mimic adults. <grin>

Thus I disagree with those who say that "tone" is on the same moral level as an overt insult. Many of these folk are good people an'all, it's just that they're ... wrong. <giggle>
