That's another good reason not to follow those personal-attack-threads too
closely. :)
I decided not to read these threads, simply because I didn't want to be forced
to be possibly taking sides (even if only within my own mind) against single
participants like Christophe, Amir or Bob.
For the same reasons, I try not to listen when people I know are having a heated
discussion near me. Things are said in the heat of the argument, and suddenly
you find you're getting drawn in yourself, marking the "good guys" and the "bad
guys".

I don't know who is/was calling whom what, and I don't want to know.
I don't want to marry Amir or Bob, I want to have fun with their programs.
Simple as that.

I think it's sad you feel obliged to stop your (apparently excellent) Junior
support because of something Amir said. I suppose you know him for quite some
time now, so it just seems a little harsh to react this way.
