I completely agree about the ugliness of tone that has
increased of late. Let me say that I am not referring to Jim
Doherty, as I recognized it as schtick. Perhaps having met
him a few times helps me do that. I do hope Jim returns as I
am interested in hearing his opinions even when I disagree
with them.
It should be possible to discuss and, at times, disagree
without competing to see who can come across as the biggest
jerk.
