   Uri,  if you are referring to me (which you probally are), all I can say is
you have been here as long as I, and longer, You know that before this week I
have never said anything ugly to anyone.  You have never seen me butt into a
post and start saying derrogatory things or joining the crowd in condemnation of
anyone. However I am also not a turn the other cheek type of person. If someone
slaps me in the face I am going to slap them back. But you will never see me
picking a fight with anyone. I  don't attack someone's post even if I think it
is stupid. My approach is to attack what the person is saying, but not with
personal remarks.   I also have a very strong sense of right and wrong, If I
believe that I am being treated unfairly, I will not bite my tongue. I agree
with your above statement that "critizing behavior of someone should be allowed
only if it is without bad language and based on proved facts" I see you that you
practice what you preach as you were not one of the people who went into
hysteria over my post.  However even at the risk of being booted from this
group, if someone insults me again, with words like I am insane and stupid, and
the whole nine yards, I will do exactly the same thing that I did before.
Respect me and you will recieve respect. This is all I have left to say on the
entire matter, I won"t be responding to any following negative post.
