The capacity to adjuticate is, insofar as I am aware, a trait which is singular to humans among all Earth-dwelling creatures. I can see where one might object to personal insult (and there is a lot of that on the net), but a sweeping comment like the one above reflects BAD judgement (which might be better than none at all). Whatever happened to people using real (and intact), names and accurate site names? (Don't we have a right to know who our accusers are?) Sean McLinden
