Anthony,

While I have never questioned anyone's right to reasonable discussion, your 
implication that Sue is lying is way, way, WAY out of line.  Put up or shut 
up.  Call her a liar, or don't, but either way your emails are headed 
straight for my trash-can.

In civilized discourse, one does not get to wantonly call someone a liar.  I 
think you have, once again, crossed a line.

Everything I've seen of Sue suggests that she's an above-board, ethical 
woman.  You can disagree without calling someone a liar.  You can question - 
even firmly - without resorting to name-calling.  You have failed to do so 
and I find it particularly offensive.  I respect those who question and 
those who resist.  There's a place in this community for an agitator. 
Common courtesy is required, however.

Philippe
