[Alexander Smith]

Slagging does take two -- yes, but slagging is only the result of 
needlessly provocative commentary. If people  - and I'm speaking 
generally, not naming names or pointing fingers...I'm equally guilty of 
the crime --  perhaps reigned in their pronounced propensity for 
spouting decidedly hateful claptrap, perhaps the slagging  matches 
would also dwindle down to a minimum. I'm not asking people to censor 
themselves, but rather to take into account the 
feelings/beliefs/sensibilities of others before firing off a 
potentially hurtful or nasty comment.

Just a thought.
