Richard,

I don't believe that Tom was referring to you. He was referring to people who, rather than joining into the discussion and sharing their own insights based on their experiences, as you have, try to attack the validity or the character of the person posting.

I would show you an example of this but to the best of my knowledge those offending posts have been removed. The fact that your posts remain intact speaks volumes.

Being that this is indeed a forum, debate and discussion of different points of view should be embraced and considered for their own merits. We can then accept, reject or question what we read and respond if we wiish.

We as artists are very passionate, by nature, about our beliefs and well we should be. However it is easy to get drawn into things too far, however, so we all need to count to ten, evaluate the content of what we say and review it's intended purpose in order to make sure we aren't debasing others.

I too have succumbed at times, usually in responding to an attack from another, but overall I have really tried to avoid being sucked into less than gentlemanly behavior.

Umfortunately some never seem to learn their lessons and so their words, like stones, have been cast aside.
