Did not say you were running anyone off, and I don't buy the idea that anyone has actually been run off.

Pukah Sahib left, but he had no nastiness directed at him. He and I criticized each others ideas, a bit sharply a couple of times, but we never made it personal.

I am not placing blame on either of the sides. I am placing blame on any and all who let their emotions get the best of them. Pukah Sahib left, in his own words (paraphrased) because he believed that there was not enough serious discussion. I interpreted that to mean that he grew weary of the number of insults (not necessarily aimed at him) populating so many of the posts. Other valued posters have quit posting to the site and it is my belief that the reasons are the same. There is an unnecessary amount of invective, name calling, and bullying that goes on here and in my opinion it makes it uncomfortable for some people. I, for one, welcome anyone's posts no matter if it is one hundred and eighty degrees away from my beliefs. I just don't see why it has to get personal.
