> I found the response to Andy's post to be very "in your face" and unnecessarily so. I think he intended no offense by it.
Which response, Elizabeth's? I know, it would've been better if she had left out her "eye roll"...

> Once attacked, Andy did defend himself in a way that may hve seemed accusatory, and maybe it wasn't inappropriate to point that out to him. However, that his post resulted in what you may perceive to be a less than civil discourse is, IMO, not his fault. He was not the first to sling arrows
I did think he was the first to cross the line. Which is of course subjective, inconsistent, etc.
> if Zo and Elizabeth thought that his remarks were insensitive, they could have pointed this out to him with significantly more tact.
Ah, I think I see now, maybe another issue is what Zo posted:

I agree, that's over the line, too, and I should've said something about that. Well, better late than never?
