Perhaps I've got it all wrong, but I feel there has been quite a lot of moderated openness on this list so far, i.e. at least for the last months since I first logged in. Perhaps you are referring to battles fought long ago, when I wasn't around? I'm wondering what kind of discussion might have sparked off your remarks... Nevertheless, I share your opinion: a debate can only be fruitful when all parties involved in it express themselves, in a moderate way without insults. But that is what Common Sense is all about, isn't it? Puzzled Jan Baritono not yet robusto (and even less lirico)
