Carlos, Being latin, I have a lot of sympathy for your argumentation. However, over the years I have witnessed several email discussions that have degenerated to the point that it was even difficult to identify the arguments of either parties amidst the insults. We are obviously veeeeery far from that, but I believe that a call for responsibility does not hurt. A little bit like on the football field ;>) where a referee might be useful in tempering the passion and avoiding that a football match turns into something unintended.

Because, who is the person, wich the court or tribunal (in what ROP part I can find) who decide if the tone or behaviour of the words uses, is improper, or have the divine "don" to decide this. Who stablish the parameters? Who is God? On the other side, I think, we are professionals, more than that our condition of voluntiers. So we can't be a sensitive persons, we need the posibility to discuss matters with all pasion that we feel and defend it in the the better way that we believe. We represent millons people, and we accepted our role in this committee, for that reason I think the rational passion is absolutelly permitted when we discuss some important issues.
