.. I can only ask "Are you a journalist?"

I can't answer that but I do know there are a growing number of us that are sick of the increasing tendency of FReepers to "go ugly" in a many of our threads. Personal attacks, foul language and vitriol are becoming the norm rather than the exception. Agenda is trumping fact and ranting and raving is overcoming civil discourse.

It's high time for The Boss to clamp down, not just on Travis but on a few more that are known for hurling insults.

Sorry to see Travis go by the way but if Jim doesn't see fit to reinstate him, so be it.

Nonsense. Disdain is a perfectly reasonable response to contrary-to-fact assertions...even if said assertions are polite.

Disingenuousness is still dishonesty.
