I think this forum, for it's type, manages to stay very balanced. The best I've come across anyway. It's understandable people will feel frustrated, although the result of venting is always a pointless exchange.

I really like Pedraic's points. Gentle chiding and treating people as adults seems the way to go. Zero tolerance for extremes is also good.

Agree with Pedraic's addendum too. You're on fire today Bruce! Big Grin
