While I believe that my statement was accurate it may also have been inappropriate, especially in light of Alex's post of earlier today, a part of which I quote above. I certainly did not wish to start an online discussion about this topic.

It can be nothing but depressing to think that a group such as this, with all the advantages that we have been given and all of the advantages that we have earned, would need to be told that civility and politeness are expected of them. Shown below is a copy of the "Rules of Conduct" to which each and every one of us agreed on joining Trawler World List. Although a few of our members might disagree about this, the administrators of the list (myself included) have tried to avoid interfering in list discussions. That policy has resulted in an increased workload for the administrators and a growing willingness, on the part of the members, to be rude and confrontational. Well, that policy has ended. You might want to pay particular attention to the last sentence from the rules. One comment in closing: A post such as this usually generates a number of follow up messages some of support, some in opposition, and some asking for clarification. In this case, NO SUCH FOLLOW UP IS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE. If you like this policy - Fine. If you don't - Tough. If you honestly can't tell what constitutes good manners - I don't have time to teach you.
