You have my word that any discussion thread I initiate will be germaine.
However, I will not sit on my hands and not reply to personal jabs and innuendo. That stuff stops, I will not reply.
If you look at my posts, I believe you will see that the mindless OT stuff has not been initiated by me. You should address your comments to other parties if you want this to cease (as I wish, also). I will stand up for myself (within the bounds of the TOU's) when attacked.
