If that is your idea of "anger, outrange, and castigation", then we have a problem, because for the vitality of the community - and our individual development and learning - we need to be able to express our views and hear views from others. The only "anger" I heard was towards companies that some on this mailing list believe compromise our privacy. Whether you agree with those people or not, I don't think there is a problem with anger directed at such companies and their alleged behavior - but perhaps others feel differently. If there was a particular statement or statements that you felt were problematic, perhaps you could point to the general type of case (probably shouldn't call folks out by name) so that the rest of us could learn and improve. > > I hope in future, that if someone objects strongly to a scenario > presented, then they contact the original poster directly first and if they > have no luck, then reply to the group. > It is important that these debates happen in the open so we all can hear all different points of view. For example, you responded to the entire list, and now we know you feel there has been "anger, outrage, and catigation" on this list. If you provide more details to the list, I am sure most of us will make an effort to do better (as long as it doesn't involve refraining from expressing our views and debating the issues). Mike
