Paul:

Feel free to make your point, but if you call another board member's comment
asinine again I will moderate all further posts of yours. You've taken a
position and have been asked to explain it. There is nothing inappropriate
with that. Your comment is out of line.

I will not stand for that under ANY circumstances from any one.
