And Bob would be the last person to complain about Vince. So, in sense, they are both getting more leeyway with each other. When Vince was susppended last fall, it had nothing to do with Bob. It may not be fair - but its reality, I think most (not all) members are tolerant of their discussions. If you are not, the proper forum is contacting the moderators by e-mail. If sufficient number complain, we may be have to take action. But I would rather not with respect to Bob and Vince - unless Bob or Vince emailed us and complained. But they do not complain about each other ever.
