RE: Is it possible...
If the insults are allowed without recourse, many will be very reluctant to post or, at worst, will leave the forum. I left H.I.S. forum a few years ago for similar issues and have not gone back.
I don't mind an argument. After all, how could I learn if not confronted with other opinions. I do find, however, that character and professional insults, and even innuendoes, can become disheartening. I don't have a 'thin skin'; but, why should I, or anyone, have to put up with such garbage?
