I would like to remind all of us that discussions on this mailing list
are more useful when we avoid personal remarks. Let's stick to the
issues, which are difficult enough.

Here are examples of personal remarks:

* Sheldon, stop being an ass; yer pissing me off
* you sick Nazi bastards
* You lied 
* you're just a lowlife that deserves zero respect
* community of violent Jew haters

I'll let you all decide who said which of these gems, but I think we'll
all agree that they're not the sparkling jewels of wit we may have
thought when we wrote them. (I wish I could take back my own, er,
contribution to this parade of shame.)
