Mike, I believe you that he does not intend to be a troublemaker. However, it would be nice if we could all resist the temptation to deliver gratuitous slaps at topics, boards, tools or whatever else we know has attracted support or even emotional investment from others. If you look at the trouble around here, in almost every case it arose because somebody flouted the above simple principle. Of course I'm not talking about reasoned debate or defined criticism; in almost every case that results in acclaim, not dissent.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
