[MD] Social level for humans only

[Horse]

  Come on guys - this is a forum for those of an intellectual 
disposition so provocative comments and/or name calling don't really get 
us too far do they? It just starts up a flame session and everyone gets 
a bit of a singeing.
And no Platt, I'm not going to berate you for replying in kind. It 
wouldn't be fair. But I can also see why Krim said what he did and I'm 
sure you can too.
It would just be better if we were all a bit less trigger-happy on both 
the insults and the provocative remarks so do me a favour all of you and 
count to 10 before you fire off a volley of insults or think carefully 
as to why you may think argumentation through provocation is the way to go.
Cos to be honest, neither of them are the hallmarks of intellect.
