Hi All,

One of the things I most like about the (now multi-table) tournament forum was the general climate of civility and courtesy. While this forum is still young, it seems like we're setting a more confrontational tone here. I'm not pointing fingers, as I was guilty of it also in response to wannabe's post. And while spirited debate is a good thing, I believe insults -- to persons or the issues they raise -- diminish us and our capacity to learn from each other.

So may I gently request that we all (and I include myself) take an extra moment to read over what we've written, and ask ourselves if something we've said is harsher or more confrontational than it needs to be?

Thank you,

Cris
