[Margaret Pilkington]

there is never any excuse for personal insults or rudeness......and I think that recently some people have forgotten that.

In the past we have been able to have discussions that have sometimes become heated(but that is what happens when you have a passionate belief about something) without descending into name calling and personal insults.

We should be able to be mature enough to recognise that in a forum as diverse as this, there are bound to differing opinions.
And just because someone holds a different opnion to yours doesn't necessarily mean that either of you are wrong......differing opinions can co-exist.

I think there is a minority on here who will have their voices heard, come what may. Maybe they are spoiling it for the rest of the forum.

Willow, I'm sure that in the time I have been a member of this forum you have been a voice of sweet reason, and on numerous occasions you have poured oil on troubled waters.
