GZ, I certainly agree that ideally we should be able to rise above it all, not take ourselves so seriously, etc. etc. Yet the huge advantage of a thread like Insults Only is that it is understood from the outset that the insults are not meant to be taken seriously. You laugh them off, because you know there is no ill will in them. The problem lies in using the Insults Only style on other threads, where there is no such prior understanding, and where there frequently is genuine ill will. jbe
