What tone is that ?  How do you know what tone
I used ?  You are being inappropriately presumptuous,
I think.   I was just repeating a request someone else
had made; you did not castigate them, did you ?

And your point is, what ?  Are Ansteorran permitted
or expected to behave with less civility than other people ?
If so, why ?  I hope you don't consider yourselves inferior
in courtesy or intelligence to people from other Kingdoms;
that really shouldn't be the case, should it ?

I thought in this particular case, what I want is
pretty obvious.  Valid, rational discussion.
Not public ad-hominem discussions, like yours is.
But when you indulge in it, I point it out.  Do you
have a problem with that ?

>I and others know you well from the Rialto.

No, you know my Rialto demeanor well, perhaps.
That's not at all the same thing, is it ?  But anyway,
I'd love to here you tell me and others what you
know well about me from the Rialto.  I like being (in)famous. 

>Two days here and you've already made this place

Let's see: a variety of people, including you, post
a bunch of ad-hominem attacks on me because
I engage in a rational and flame-free discussion,
and YOU accuse ME of making the place inhospitable ?
I think not !  No, I think it is the people who are constantly
trying to steer discussion towards personal attacks (that might
be you, Stefan) that are making the place seem inhospitable.

You'll just have to risk exposure to all manner
of ideas that might challenge your preconceptions.
