Hi Amir, Dan and Bruce: I fully adheres to the sentiments expresed by Detlef in order to be more forgiveness with Thorsten. It seems that he is going at full speed towards a red card and that means another guy will be lost for us. It is truth that Thorsten has gone beyond limits this time and that you are there as moderators to stop these things; I know also that you have warned him several times. I know the rules: no insults, no personal attacks, etc. Nevertheless, rules are just an area for the examination of behaviour, NOT a definite line. There is space to measure other kind of things. Yes, TC has gone too far sometimes, but he is one of the most productive fellows here, he post a lot of stuff, many of it very entertainning even if he is mistaken or goes beyond what most of us could deem as rational. It is clear that his broadsides are more the result of temperamental outburst than the result of a perverse will to insult or malign. Sometimes he is not even worst in that area than many of us, but just he is more sincere and direct. I have seen many posts where educated words hide even worst insults. Any case, although I am more easygoing and calm, -but remember I am 49 years old and at this awful age you just save your energy for things more pleasant than words wars- I do not feel myself entitled to blame anybody. I do not forget that we are, from the sheer fact of our weird interest, a mad, freaky, crazy-as-horse bunch of people and so I would not hope and wait too much delicacies and charm from anybody here. Let's forget T bombs. They are even funny at times. And besides he is right sometimes. Fernando
