I'd like to chime in, with the following observation:
By typical internet standards, even the most heated discussions to date here in the Conservatory have been surprisingly polite!
I wish we could do better, as do we all. But this is really a surprisingly well mannered crowd!

P.S. Since, of course,
I could
never possibly offend
anyone with any of
my writings -- they're all the only sane opinion on the topics in question, after all -- no one will
ever need to ask me to tone it down.
More seriously, call me on it if it's needed. Please.
