I agree. Sometimes we tend to dwell too much on the negative when commenting on other posters. Of course, negative comments elicit a more robust response than positive comments, so that may be the reason. I doubt there is any serious dislike among posters, more the practice of getting a rise out of someone. Personally, I can think of something nice to say about each of my traditional adversaries (with one exception and he's a real loser).

I appreciate your forbearance Yes. I knew you would. I am not sure why anyone would suppose that I am contriving posts for cruelty, especially since I am one of the more polite people here. Without belaboring the point (and wishing to be forebearant)..I think we are aware that cruelty can be exercised under the guise of "politeness". Indeed, politeness can be the foil for the most peircing cruelty (does the I come before the E?). I remember you claiming on this thread that you were attempting to be cruel (or something very similar to that). I don't recall if you were polite or not... Have you ever felt angry when you were challenged on a thread topic? Me neither.
