IMHO it would make a huge difference to this forum if all of us could just take on board the following:
(1) A post can be absolute crap, but that in itself says nothing of any significance about the poster.
(2) Consequently, saying that a post is crap is not a personal attack on the poster.
(3) "Crap" applied to a post is simply a vernacular way of saying "wildly wrong" or "fundamentally (apologies for the pun) misguided".
(4) The way to respond to a "crap" post is to produce reasons for thinking it is wildly wrong or fundamentally misguided, not to resort to personal remarks about the poster.
PS I try not to produce crap posts, but I am happy to admit that I don't always succeed. I do though make sure I don't indulge in name calling -- except when engaged in banter with Dave.
Sorry Robbie, but point (3).... WHO decides what someone has posted is "wildly wrong" or "fundamentally misguided", that surely is just a difference of views or opinions!
That is why some people, including me in the past, have questioned the apparent "policeing" of posts just because they don't agree with them or their contents!
I can see where Bedford was coming from, and at first read of the OP, I felt the same, but it's just the way Superman comes across sometimes, you need to read it a couple of times to take in the meaning.
