@mark noble,
Mark, not all of us do as you posted.
I, for one, do not like the strife that is sometimes posted here and there, and I don't care who it involves.
It seems to go in stages, and especially with certain individuals who are prone to that sort of thing.
I don't mind your posts in general, but often don't reply, there or anywhere.
After a while, you will know who has a civil tongue in their head and who doesn't.
