Not pleasant at all. >fernando Nobody in this forum wishes to limit ideas, or passions, or thoughts, or creativity; we simply want to be able to speak without fear of constant abuse, personal insult, and name calling. We want to converse here and not have such abuse transferred to other forums where there are no restrictions or limits of any kind. There was only one way to accomplish this end. There is no need for a normal person, or even you, Fernando:-}}}} to fear sanctions because the great majority of the population knows the difference between criticizing an idea and abusing the person who created that idea. I, personally, look forward to your continuing "harshness", "critiquing" and being a general "pain in the ass". -Steve
