Well said gandul.
I have my fair share of bad language and temper (I do work hard to avoid, but I am what I am), though I don't apologize for policing per se, especially as Neven has been very busy in the last year(?). For sure I could have responded better to you when I did, it was worded roughly. But I have not taken your retort to heart so no need to aplogize.
The forum is such a useful resource and has so many well-stated opinions and research, I often don't have much to contribute in terms of high science, I have less time than usual for the analysis that I used to do, and I am not a real scientist anyway. So I contribute where I can, put threads in order, thank good posts, provide constructive criticism to others' masterpieces, answer newbies, give likes where likes are due, and so on.
What I dislike about the forum, and life in general, is when people get bogged down in politics. I've found a long time ago that discussing politics isn't very helpful - people will keep their own opinions, and science cannot help as there are no true answers. Tempers flare up quickly, and negative feelings last long after the discussion. The most I can get discussing politics is to map quickly where we agree and disagree and leave it at that. I have protested in the past against letting politics into the forum, to no avail. So when I see non-political threads getting bogged down in political discussions that have no chance of being resolved or of dying down by themselves, I have the urge to step in and "police".
