You are not the only one who is told that dissent is not appreciated. It is ironic that when openness and shared values are considered, these same values are swept under the rug when people are not in line with "common" thought.
Apparently thoughts are not so common and certainly not universally shared. When community degenerates in universal enforced thought, are we still a community?
Gerard, you're only one, to my knowledge, always fulfilling the soft quota of 30 emails per month, +1 or 2 message. In February you're already at 31 [1].
For the record, Gerard absolutely understands the 30-post limit, is always very careful to keep it +/- 2 messages, and yes, I could still see a little more restraint on his part. We do have a sort of detente, and yes, he's already been warned privately this month.
This said, he does contribute positively to the list, and I even consider him a friend. But even friends need a little nudging from time to time, it's true.
