And you believe language which lacks emotion is actually UNdesireable?  
If you would agree that is that it's up to each individual how they 
choose to phrase their posts as long as it's free of hostility, then why 
are you beating this dead horse yet again?  Just say that it's an 
approach that you prefer.  Erik will say that he thinks your approach 
has no place here.  Why try so hard to convince someone over your matter 
of opinion?  So you disagree on something... welcome to life, now get 
back to Lisp!
