Hi, Connie!

Actually, I think that language was my quotation of Max, so let's give him the credit.

And Connie, I think you'll find I've been reasonably consistent about objecting to rude language, whether it is directed at me or at others. If you would wish the responses to be fewer, perhaps you should wish the rudenesses to be fewer. Indeed, if you were to look at some of the more extreme recent threads you will find that I let quite a bit go without response. [cites available by PM if you wish.]

[Edit, 4 minutes later: Connie, would you please be so good as to PM me an example of my supposed "rudeness and bullying" on this board?]
