However in a certain field they are too tolerant IMO. That was the reason for my article. Please note that Mr. Pete R. did _not_ use the word "idiotic" but the word "idiot". My theory is that you would object much stronger if for example someone would write a letter asking "which idiot had done this or that in the company or website of Mr. Schroeder". The word idiot as such is the insult, IMO. Hans Gerber
