[Superman]

I'm sorry, Turbo, if I've seemed acutely critical lately. It looks like that may be your impression. Historically I think I have actually been acutely respectful, but these past few weeks I have been reacting to both the entrenched polar extreme positions here with about 95% barbs and 2% meat, and the appearance here of a guy who has taken mudslinging to a whole new level. This has apparently given woodies to some of the more already-disrespectful so-called "contributors." So, I'm disappointed to the point of being quite angry.

This site has been my home for more than four years and I have, on many occasions, expressed my sense of wonder at the fabulous community we have here. I hate to see beautiful things die.

Again, sorry. I'm trying to return to the respectful spirit I am used to here, and thinking that maybe I just need to stay away from this OT forum, at least until its participants can begin to allow for a productive discussion.
