OK, now I have been away, perforce. Back occasionally for moments at a time.

Some things are frankly out of hand.

One of you asked along the lines of "Why do you allow closed minded people in here?"

The asnwer is simple. No-one here is closed minded unless they prove it by never in their lives ever taking a new opinion on board. Everyone so far has learnt at least one thing by being here. But they all have points of view which have major or minor segments which are incompatible.

And that is good, as long as they also do not get strident or insisting on their viewpoint holding sway over everyone else's.

So, I will not be banning anyone, asking anyone to leave, nor indeed asking anyone who wishes to leave to stay. I have only ever banned persistent spammers. I don't expect to alter that policy.

What I asl of you all, without exception, is to put your points with less emotion, when a disagreement looms, and even agree to differ.

Or, to put it another way: "Play nice!"
