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. ;-) kp
