There are these two sorts of things that people may object to on channel:- (A) If in some matter of diving, I say that X=2, and Irvine says that X=3, then each may say that the other's opinion is drivel, but they are both reasoned statements and have a right to be heard, whether each is right or wrong. I know it's annoying if the two persist in differing, but that's life. (B) Abuse and bad language, such as one recent message that contained 2 screenfuls of lavatory-mouthing in uppercase, I pity any women on channel who must wade through that sort of stuff. To me, it isn't just the offensiveness, but the bulk for me to wade through before I start work in the mornings: e.g. today half of my incoming email was the "A question about who is the mouth" thread. Does "a stroke" as often used on this list as an accusation mean "someone who strokes his own ego"? If not, what?, so we know what we are talking about. Who on this list has heard of netiquette? PLEASE why can't this list temporarily have a moderator until peoples' manners and tempers simmer down? Reiteration and bad language don't get through on email groups as Tolklang and Virus-L that have a moderator. ...................................................................
