No, things have got heated because of *your* attitude and yours alone.
You were politely warned earlier by myself and others that your tone was
wrong.

I don't believe you've gone through life without this being an issue
before.  Indeed, that's probably why you had platitudes to hand, such as
not being here to make friends, instead of stepping back and thinking
about your behaviour;  you've heard the complaints before and routinely
ignore them.

Please, take a breather and go away for a couple days and let things die
done.  Then come back and see if everyone can politely get along to get
this resolved.

Other alternatives the list could consider include the list moderators
taking some action to slow the pace of the conversation, e.g. moderate
all posts and let them all through en masse once a day.  I think this
would help a lot at the moment.

If there is any other paid-up member who's interested in helping getting
this resolved, please step forward publically.  Perhaps you can be a
liason with the old committee.

If things continue, I see John being incapable of progressing because he
lacks the pragmatism required, instead he'll continue to insist on
answers that no one else is interested in, and will alienate futher any
of those that could help him.

Cheers,


Ralph.
