Sure, Rick, to clarify, your comment: "It is comments like yours that initiated the need for moderated boards" served to personalize the argument. Up until that point, we had been discussing points in the abstract. You personalized it, expressing the desire or desirability to censor my comments. The implication, it seems to me, was "see, people like you are why we need moderation." The irony is, I saw that as a personal attack. IMO, a better approach than moderation is for reasonable people to talk it out. There is a great deal of misunderstanding possible on message boards. It can usually be worked-out with clarification. BTW, I also apologize for saying that I "don't know who you are nor do I care". Actually, after reviewing your posts, I see that we seem to hang out in many of the same threads here. Indeed, I've read many of your posts and enjoyed and appreciated them.
