Oliver & HG: in PMs, I have found both of you to be intelligent, decent, and caring folk. I know misunderstandings can occur because of differences in culture, class and gender, and because certain words can trigger sharp disagreements.

I'm not suggesting a friendship can arise between you (though I would not rule it out) but I do believe you both can take deep breaths, reconsider the harshness of some sccusatory words to each other, and work through this via PM.

I think you both contribute meaningful things here and would hate to see either of your voices diminished.

I'm not trying to supplant Ken here either, and will post no more about it; sticking my nose into a personal dispute is not a winning proposition. But I do believe Dutch/Us origin vs. Kashmir/US origin can create understandable differences in viewpoint. I also believe from PMs that both of youse are good bridge builders too.
