              BPP : Why would any of us apologize?
              It's called "humility" and being proven wrong, and having the courage and conviction to apologise for being nasty and doubting someone.

              Or is this an old-fashioned ideal now ?
              Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

                  There is too much bullying on this site and too many sactamonious (sp) up their own asses, posters.

                  However those of us who have met know that each of us is actually ok, not a bully or a geek or an eyeliner wearing wierdo or a posh shipping forecaster or a hairy trucker among us.

                  It's when people mouth off and make accusations and assumptions that we have problems

                  Oh and inappropriate use of smilies does (amongst other things) make me think you are a cretin!
                  I blame the newbies. It was much better when we had those coffee-keyboard interface moments and the forum was genuinely laugh-out-loud funny.

                  of course, it was all fields round here then.......
