Confrontational is different than disrespectful. Almost any post where you
disagree with the poster will be somewhat confrontational, since you are
disputing something he said. I think this disagreement goes back to discussion
during the Smirin games, but I can't remeber if they were on opposite sides
then. I doubt that Mogens dislikes Chris. Usually such impressions are caused
when a poster responds while irritated by a point which has been brought up
before, and the poster feels has been dealt with. This applies to both sides, I
think. I doubt that Chris dislikes martin, but I believe he was irritated by his
reply. I could be wrong, though. I don't have a Phd in psychology. ;-)
