I recently did send a private message to crazes .... I should have expected him to misrepresent its message and in thinking about it, I can't say I'm surprised .... below is the message he was sent and is only being presented on the open forum because he chose to open that door :
"out of respect for our members, I prefer to discuss matters like this in private .... bottom line, as you know, so long as it is done within an bounds of common courtesy and civility, members can most certainly express their opinions ....when they cross those boundaries, no matter what their opinion is, they will be held accountable .... this is most certainly a pro EM forum and it is understandable how attacks on EM can rile up its supporters .... bottom line with no room for discussion, as a pro EM forum, those attempting to stir up controversy have been, are being, and will continue to be dealt with.... I will not get into word games, you've been here long enough to know where the line is .... you've also been here long enough to decide if this community best meets your wants/needs or if one with another view of EM would be a better fit for you .... its your choice how to proceed"
my message was simple and seems to me to be pretty clear .... stating an opinion isn't an issue so long as all of our post are written within the bounds of common courtesy and servility .... there are forums available where personal attacks and deliberate attempts to provoke negative confrontations are permitted .... this is not one of them
