>Mike, I agree with you on using mdots wherever ambiguity is possible. But you do nothing to advance the argument by calling people idiots or telling them they are stupid. That behavior is uncalled for.
As Marcia (God rest her feisty soul) used to say, "Call Ripley", because I agree with Tamar.
Mike and Walter, you are two intelligent and highly capable individuals who have contributed a lot of good ideas over the years. You have very different perspectives, and that's cool - that's how good discussions come up.
But I think most agree that this one has gone too far, and you guys are both too good for this. I can't tell you what to do, but right now I think the best thing would be to take this down a few notches.
