Joseph -- you wrote:

"As the protocol presently stands, "Everyone should feel free to sound
off, but the discussion should at all times be courteous and nobody
should feel badgered or harassed."

My apologies to you if anything I've written made you feel
badgered or harassed!

I think that everyone here (well -- I can think of at least one
exception)
tries hard to live up to common civility.

BTW -- while Phil Johnson did start this LISTSERV, he has wandered off to
more useful climes and seldom visits here anymore. Which is too bad.

Civility, of course, does not preclude hard questions from being asked!
Nor does it preclude answers being returned that suggest the question
misses the point!

Again -- let me endorse 99% of the folks here as "good guys." We all have
our unperceived biases of course; what is neat about this LISTSERV is
that most of us don't feel threatened if our "pet theory" is assailed; we
are not our theories!

Of course, you must recognize that only one of us can be "right."

Maybe none of us.
