Explain yourself Harald.  I certainly have no idea what your going on
about here.  Are you telling me it's OK now under the rules to call people
loons.  So I can't say your a horse shitter - but it's OK to call you
Harald the Loon?

No Harald - people are telling you your behaving impartially.  read and
learn Harald - read and learn.
