Tejek <anger is invoked very easily on this thread.> <Since it has come to this level, I really question whether I should participate on this thread...> I think we all asked ourselves this question time to time. But if you commit this "web suicide", the thread would be totally dominated and contaminated by Paul Elmer "make-it-so". I believe that something is wrong with the whole idea of talking across the web, at least in current implementation. In customary meetings, if a "speaker" would every time miscall you as "jerk" when addressing any message to you, I would think that something less civilized would happen, right after the meeting. This keeps "speakers" on some leashes. On the web however, there is no brakes to stop this kind of harassment, "terms of use" do not work. And no court either. I think SI needs to invent a sort of "web jurisdiction", with all necessary procedures to establish the guilt, with set of punishments.
