I'm not bothered in the least by conflicting opinions or honest criticisms. But it's pretty easy to discern between stuff like that vs. name-calling, rude remarks, and insults (which I think are baiting no matter what forum they are in). I always try to make sure my comments are adding value to the conversations and appreciate it when others do the same. Why can't we just be respectful of everyone? Because as you say, it's only as far as we know that FM is not on this forum. If they were, we would have to be respectful to them, but they wouldn't necessarily reveal themselves. I mean, after all these years, you never found out that I'm Billy Burnette.

Great post, Mike. The name calling is juvenile, and like you, I hate having to wade through insulting posts to get to a thoughtful or sincere post.
