Once an argument has started it *MUST* escalate into a flame war, in
which it is *REQUIRED* that one of the parties make derogatory
personal remarks about the other, after which it is *MANDATORY* that
the other compare the first to Hitler or a Nazi. At which point one
of many NetCops is *COMPELLED* to try to invoke Godwin's Law.
Following that, of course, are the *OBLIGATORY* postings of Godwin's
Law corollaries.

Acting civil is going to spoil the reputation of this newsgroup.

This newsgroup has cooled the universe a few degrees with its entropy
generation on more than one occasion. Could be dangerous to encourage them.
