Your idiotic assertion that “If you had any dignity as a community, OJ would be in jail.” was enough to make you look like a kneejerk redneck asshole.

_That’s_ a bit over-the-top, Xeno. Philster, yes, you as well. Glad to see you two have calmed down a mite, but we’re not in the Pit here. We like a heated debate, but try to avoid spittle actually flecking the monitor. 😉

My apologies, **Gaudere** and **Philster** (and everyone else). I guess I failed to stay on the right side of the line between disparaging arguments and insulting the arguer.

I’ll try not to do it again…

I, too, apologize.  
I think we all are passionate about some of the discussion items, but at least in a positive way.
