It's  the email that I most look forward to every day, not only 
for the valuable  information and wide range of opinion and criticism, 
but also for the  devastating wit and humor delivered by a number of our 
members.  



But don't we all enjoy the anger and vitriol too? I know I do. It all works  
out well in the end, and I'm sure if we all got together in one big room with  
lots of cold beer and a boxing ring... no one would get in the ring but many 
of  us would threaten to. 
 
I think it's time to remember why we're here. I think it's all about  
contribution, especially the positive kind. I, as much as anyone have strayed on  
occasion, but apparently the good has outweighed the bad. I also think that Mike  
has put out a ton of good information, good humorand good music.
 
Don, let the forum rock. If you become an adversary, no matter  what, you 
should not use that as an excuse to punt someone. That just shows  weakness. 
People should quit if they feel like it; they should not be tossed off  unless 
they threaten another member.
 
If you wish to privately involve yourself with a member who may be  pushing 
too far, that's great. That should be what you do along with keeping the  
Internet whores away (although they are fun to mess with).
 
What you did with Mike would be akin to saying that since it's your  
football, you get to throw him out of the game because he pissed you off. You  need to 
consider the rest of us the players as well.
