Yes, the personal attacks drive some people away, and that was my main point. That the attacks affect us all when someone like Keith Olberman or Kit Young avoid the forum because of them.
Except in extreme circumstances I think a bit less of people who would bring that sort of personal attack into a discussion, even a heated one. It's one thing to question someones hobby knowledge, but to bring unrelated outside stuff into it just seems wrong.

It is a shame that we sometimes have personal attacks on the board. Thanks to Leon for keeping it to a minimum. All things considered, better known collectors might want to participate under a nom de plume.
