Rules of War

You know? I don't think members should be allowed to start threads beating up on specific private individuals. It puts me off, and I bet it does other people, too. I have no problem with giving each other hell during the course of an argument WITHIN a thread, and I have no problem with somebody sending me or anybody else a PM telling me that they hate me, but what's been going on here today feels just a bit too much like McCarthyism to me. What say we leave the witch burning back in 17th century Salem where it belongs?
