Just to return to the matter at hand, i.e. the cancellation of Erwin's newsletter, the issue is not about anyone's questioning Erwin's credibility and the legitimacy of that questioning. If it were, I suppose he would have pulled the plug on the newsletter at that time, which was several weeks ago if I recall. The issue is personal attacks, name calling, and so forth, which has become commonplace on the Lug of late. The post that seems to have broken the camel's back refers to Erwin as god - it in no way questions his credibility. It is simply the latest in a long line of insults that play on his supposed apotheosis here on the Lug, and was intended I presume to ridicule him and his "followers," whoever they might be. Personal attacks should have no place on this list. They benefit no one, and add nothing positive to the discussion. I know Brian does not with to police the Lug. If I were he, I wouldn't either, though I think I would unsubscribe the repeat offence name callers and insulters. I don't think any of us gain anything from such adolescent behavior.
