Dr. Joe: You know exactly what the point was. You're just
being to cranky to admit it. But in any event, I'll rephrase the
interrogatory in the form of a statement:<br>
<br>
The stated goals of vision2020 are to encourage more public information
and debate and participation in the future of our community. I
fail to see how the nonsense of submitting insulting, demeaning posts,
namecalling or "being belligerent" for the sake of being belligerent,
moves these goals in any direction other than backwards. Let's
not bet on "I can stop doing it longer than you." Let's just
stop. <br>
