[RTTY] Personal issues

[Iain MacDonnell - N6ML]

This is a tough situation. If it was just a direct personal conflict
between Bill and Joe, I'd agree with a lot of the sentiments
expressed, but Bill is not by any means the only one to feel
personally attacked by Joe. I've experienced it myself, on other
mailing lists, and it's not fun, and completely uncalled for. We all
have our opinions, and the right to express them, but I believe that
no one has the right to publicly humiliate another because they
disagree with their opinion, no matter how technically skilled they
may be.

Ideally, what would happen here would be an apology from Joe, accepted
by Bill, and we'd all move on with our *hobby*, but somehow I suspect
that that may not be forthcoming.....
