First, let me state that I agree with your overall premise, and you have every right to comment on or about the status of FT. Free exchange of ideas and or information and the opportunity for respectful discussion/debate/dialog is the ONLY reason that a BB like FT is worth the electrons it occupies. When a disagreement between a few spills over and effects the many, that's very bad news.
Mr. Dorian and I had a misunderstanding, nothing more, nothing less. Minor difference of opinion. Responses were undoubtedly exacerbated by the timing of recent events. Happens every day. I give him the benefit of the doubt that he feels as I do, as he has not recently posted on this thread.
I make no apologies for my opinions, nor should he, nor anyone else on this board, as long as they are respectful. When that line is crossed, problems occur...

Take a deep breath, and remember what's really important...
