You have more patience than me Dave. Now that I know it's OK to be tired of pettiness. I'll just delete first and think about it later, and I'll peruse by name of known perps.

Even forgetting name calling, there has been a bump in lack-of-civility lately. Although it was never bad here; this is the place that is supposed to be a vacation from internet nastiness. The engineers disease is no excuse.

Anyone wanting to talk about an offensive post, in addition to (or instead of) "reporting" it is welcome to PM me.

Here, of all places. SMH
