Does the intrinsic merit of a point of view depend on how it is expressed? Are people here so much slaves of their emotions that they cannot look past the way in which an opinion is expressed when evaluating that opinion on its own merits? There are no objective standards for obnoxious, abusive, or disrespectful speech. I have found that characterizing someone's speech or writing with any of these adjectives often equates to saying "I disagree." _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
