OK, everybody, I can't seem to get this issue out of my mind lately, so, even though probably everything that is worthwhile on the subject has already been said, I'm going to offer another 2 cents worth.

It seems to me that when I criticize another person's work, comments in a discussion, answer their questions, that this is a human being that I'm talking to and their personal dignity is just as important as the information that I'm trying to convey. Does this make me a dishonest person or somehow less than genuine? Well, I don't think so.

What is Bonsai really all about? Is it patience and wonder at what Nature and God hath wrought? To me, that's incompatable with an attitude of contempt towards others with the same interest and sensibilities.

Best regards, Fred
