Review Note: as a matter of interest - (and I do not know the Admins personally, and by profession am required to maintain a professional distance) Rich has turned it over to the other Mods and Admins, which he has in the past also when heated issues come up. I find it professional in the extreme the way he says, "hey guys, I am involved in this, treat me as you would any other member involved in a conflict". Tempers sometimes run high, but when the conflict continues between members, across threads, the interpersonal conflict often becomes the issue, not the topic of the thread.
It is still under review by all Admin & Mods.
