Excuse me, but more than one person has been driven away from this board by "such vehemence". I will not stand for belMarduk to be chastised in this way--she was right, and milum was wrong--though I don't see how he could have known that. I too, am mightily impressed by milum, and for one don't blame him, as a newcomer, for not taking in the fact that this was just another link in a chain of joking posts.
But it is my opinion that bel has a right to express her opinion, and I don't think she was unnecessarily vehement about it. And she never said she was calm. I don't think too many people would be. GRR!
