The problem is that some of the posts in May were not civil, nor respectful, 
at least as they came across to me.

That's what bothers me. I love a good argument. I believe in freedom of 
speech. But I hate the sarcasm and put downs and nasty tone of some posts 
this past month.

And, BTW, I ain't even speaking about R&R.
