That was not meant as an exact quote although I think you were called the second word. *g*

My point is that there should be the ability to use the first phrase but not the second. I deliberately left out names/topics because the thread I was reading was the latest in what seems to be a pattern. There is disagreement on a topic and soon the name calling starts. Unfortunately for me, the topcis have an interest. I just get tired of flowing through the chaff to get the meat.

It seems the sysops are sitting on the sideline waiting to see who wins. They may not be Mommy and Daddy but we do need some kind of moderation or we'll become the old compuserve VB forum. Every other message was an attack against someone and it became totally useless.
