A polite request [View All]

[Nihil]

I have a lot of time & respect for the people on this forum and have
found an abundance of interesting & enlightening information over the
years. I would really appreciate it if it stays that way.

Please people, can we PLEASE keep
it a polite, informative forum?

There will always be the odd bit of sniping on an internet forum (and
it can often be amusing) but recently the level has shot up - as has
the temperature & language of each exchange.

Both of the two main protagonists at the moment (NNadir & jpak) have
a lot of really helpful input but there is a major risk of missing
out on this through the constant bitching and insult-trading on just
about every thread they can manage.

It's not even a case of "put them on ignore" as not only do I usually
*want* to read what everyone says, the appearance of a snark-fight
kills the topic. Nor do I want to alert each bitch-fest and throw it
over the wall at the mods - this is Environment & Energy not I/P.

Please guys, let's keep it out the gutter? We are adult enough to
hold opposing opinions without having to resort to name-calling ...

Thanks,

Nihil
