George,

>Speaking only for myself, if I post something that is technically incorrect, I apologize. Not everyone does. Further, I treat people the way I want to be treated. If I feel insulted, then I may or may not respond in kind. Whatever position I have within the community should not make me some sort of target. Unfortunately, there are times when this has not been the case.

I don't think there is any reason to feel you're a target. I you feel attacked then the chances are that you've been attacking someone else with the same persistence. It might be true that your messages are beeing watched more closely and critical because of your 'status', but that in itself does not make you a target.

Walter,
