>Oh come on, Jim. My reply to Houston was very much adult to adult. And you know very well that I am not a promotor of a - what you call - vanilla flavoured place. Also I am not one of the vested authorities here, at least, I'm not aware of such a status. But I tell you this: If the moderator decides to permit expressions like Houston used, then I am out of here, at least for the chatter part! For sure.

Peter,
Your prior effort to 'adjust' the rules of conduct suggest that you have a stronger inclination than most to have a vanilla flavoured place.

As a member you have an 'authority' (I called it vested as by right of membership) to "call" someone on the contents of their messages. By "call" I mean inform thread management of your 'hurt'.

If you truly are 'hurt' by the words Houston used then I'd have to say bye to you in the Chatter forum. See you in the VFP forum.

Jim
