> I think Name's posts would have gone largely ignored or unresponded to if your post had not appeared to put Cam's participation on this board in jeopardy. It forced people to take sides and to ferret out the injustice of taking Cam to task but not taking Name to task.
Nobody was forced to take a side, but that did happen, and has made the situation more difficult to resolve...

Interesting theory, but I don't know, wouldn't it be easier just to email me? :-)
> Since he, in a very myopic way, refuses to acknowledge the benefits of this site to its many repeat users, he seems to draw an inference that we can't help but find a little insulting - ie that we're all too stupid to factor in the negatives or risks of internet self help groups when we endorse our own continued use of the board.
Hmm...
> I personally feel, and have said before, that your trigger finger is a bit quick. Maybe you need to take a deep breath before you admonish folks to see if what appears to be an issue really just dies.
After not checking in for a while, it is in fact wonderful to see a problem arise and then just die or, even better, be resolved. But I think I'd rather be too quick than not quick enough. And it's a given that I'm going to be one or the other...
