I deplore David Rez's action.  While I don't agree with Chuck Munson, at least
the two of us didn't stoop to such low levels.  I belive the discussion has
been of good quality until this stupid stunt by Mr. Rez.

It has nothing at all to do withthe discussion.  I afree with Chuck in that is
offensive and I might add just plain stupid.

I believe Chuck is a professional and has acted in a professional matter.

I strongly deplore such tactics and will speak out against them.  It smacks too
much of political correctness.  I disagree with Chuck in some ways but support
his right to state his views.  The same goes for others here as well.

This has been a good conversation, polite for the most part.  lets keep it
civil.
