It has indeed been a while since we last replied to each other :-) If people are polite and reasonable with me then I'll try to be the same back.  Admittedly I do sometimes find it difficult to remain polite if I think someone's lying or being insincere about what they really think, but one could argue that such behaviour is not actually polite or reasonable, even if the poster is pretending it is.

Thanks for your considered replies in this thread, and being prepared to give your two cents' worth, despite risking being told off by certain parties (either publicly or privately) for not toeing the line and being negative enough about me ("defending Nuxx" as one of them put it, when nothing of the kind was occurring of course, it was just Tom Crispin asking why abuse of certain posters was allowed on URCM).

That's not to say that I agree with you about Judith, who I really don't think means any harm, and seems to be able to be humorous and contained about things which would have me spitting feathers. Some of her put-downs of you-know-who are really amusing, and spot on of course.
