By the way I remember well that Thorsten like anybody else (or even much more) reacted very sharply when Mr. Tueschen did the like to him on rgcc. If so (everybody being vulnerable towards hits below the belt), what should be the consequence that makes some sense? a) To get everybody used more and more to some hits below the belt here and there, just because the spectators happen not to suffer from it by chance??? b) Or to chose the original guideline of CCC: no personal attacks? I guess we both could agree that b) is the better way *by* *far*. Kind regards from Dirk
