To be honest, and I hate to even get involved in this, but that is the truth, he is seemingly abrasive at times, but it's really just a personality conflict, I won't say anything derogatory, and do not intend to by any means, to anyone here, because it serves no useful purpose to anyone, far better to steer the conversation back to intellectual, technical or just some casual banter, I mean really, so what people conflict with each other, that will not change, we can judge each other all we want, but what purpose does it serve, just be creative and fire back in good taste, but show some respect and some discipline, no need for people to get personal, heck we only know each other from this site for the most part, so it's kind of unfair to each other to sling mud back and forth. I did with him not that long ago, but I felt as you suggested, many times at things I've read here. I think it's just considerate, polite and much better forum etiquette to not get into it with others over a personality conflict, stemming from a web forum conversation, it is what it is, and a lot of good has been done by this forum and most all who participate, yet nothing is perfect, there is a sense of or at least everyone seems to maintain a civil attitude, when it could be completely opposite, there is much more positive here then negative. Take a look at a craigslist rant&rave, good contrast there for ya... if'n this place got like that, I can see why an administrator would get frustrated and shut 'er down.
B&D demonstrates and shares knowledge, like most if not all here, not fair for me or anyone to judge, but you toss the abrasive personality, and you've got an intelligent person there, so ignore that part, we all know better, just sometimes people let loose, things may not really be as they appear, and none of us are any better than the other, you know it's the collaborative effort by all, and all is what makes the place what it is, so please take no offense, none intended, I'm sure I could get placed on the hot seat, after participating for the last 8 or 9 years, but what does it accomplish ? fire away....... :)

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
