> Also, Simon, in your way of doing things, in my experience if one does not respond to an inappropriate message, then others will and discussions go in all sorts of directions. So if a discussion was kind of shut down by a "rude" post, how should one proceed? I would like to try that experiment!
It is not always so black and white, I believe. You can try to extract the technical information from the rude post, if there is any, and answer to that. But I don't think that you often have a peaceful discussion and, all of a sudden, 'a rude post'. Usually the tension grows progressively (with a dark music in the background) on both sides for a while before that happens. Well. Methinks.
