Dear all,
The exchange between Patrick and Arnaud has indeed reached the point
where it should be terminated by the moderators unless the participants
themselves IMMEDIATELY stop breaking the Cybalist rules of proper
conduct. Please read item 4 on the "Don't do it" list:
********************************************
4 Flaming, trolling and ad hominem attacks
Please avoid deliberate rudeness, aggressive language, addressing the
personalities of other members rather than their arguments, and other
forms of disruptive behaviour. Posters who seem to enjoy irritating
other participants or provoking violent exchanges will be given time out
at short notice: their posting rights may be revoked for about two
weeks. If you feel provoked or insulted by somebody else, please don’t
hesitate to complain to the moderators (privately or on Cybalist_admin)
rather than repay insults in kind.
*******************************************
In brief, no more insults or your posting rights will be suspended
without further notice.
Yours,
Piotr (as moderator)
