It never ceases to amaze me that 1 bad Apple can spoil a whole bunch. Sorry not meant to offend but I just couldn't help myself. I would also guess that the only way you would get banned here is if you continue to post insulting and personal remarks. It is ok to say someones posts are insulting we just can't say you are ... It's a very clearly defined line in the sand.

Thanks. And for all those who are keeping score, I'd like to point out that in most cases, when I have warned someone here for getting personal, that person has taken the warning in stride, as TJ has done here, and not gone off on a tirade against me and the rest of the people on the thread. Those who have chosen the latter course have been banned. Deservedly. TJ was able to make his feelings clear without getting personal. He commented on the quality of Zax's posts, without saying anything about the man himself. He even displayed a sense of fairness in acknowledging that some of his posts have been worthwhile. Again, TJ, thanks for providing a good example.
