Do so then. Actually, I believe the 'shout down' was directed (unjustly) at
Ian Linwood.

Chris's manner is extremely polite compared to some of the flamewars I have
seen.

No it not the first, and probably won't be the last. I do not wish to be
patronising towards Chris, but he is young, and (I believe) will learn. He
does need to be more tolerant, but surely this should be pointed out and
explained rather than walking away?

I agree, but he is not the only one.

I do not believe in censorship, I believe in education.

I do not agree with 'bullying tactics'. If you wish to leave, that is your
choice. Personally, I would prefer you not to leave the list as I feel you
have much to offer to and gain from the list (once it settles down).
