I speak here, for Steve, and the entire staff.
First, a reminder of some of the Forum Rules is obviously required:
Personal attacks of any kind on other members will not be tolerated. While disagreements in opinions and procedures may arise, they must be handled in a mature manner.
No profanity or vulgar language will be permitted. Some words have been automatically censored by the message board program, any attempt to fool the censor program by misspelling or otherwise disguising words which have been censored will be considered an attempt to post the original censored word. Please use the same polite language you would in speaking with a customer.
With reference to the latter one, posting of attachments which violate that standard are, and have always been, considered in violation as well.
Over and above the clear and obvious rule violations, nearly every post in this thread, other than the two that remain above, was beneath the standards of decency, dignity, and professionalism that have long been established here, and that the members of this community, and visitors to it, have come to expect.
That will not be tolerated, whether it comes from a new member, or a well known one.
