BTW, I met Kim (for a very short time at SCR8). He is a stand up guy...though I think he was sitting down

Or lying down with rasberries!
That is also the point. Everyone here is a stand up guy and has lots to offer. Too often they are looked down upon for voicing their opinions and then there are those that can get away with slamming people here just because of who they are perceived to be or where they stand in rank. I think we are all equals here.

If by "taken off line" you mean one on one with a PM, I agree. But I don't agree if you mean a post deleted. I am pretty sure you meant the former though.

However, there are exceptions. Occassionally someone on here gets publically hammered. That can sometimes be a good thing and it is necessary. I remember one such case with Chad and I over the DH Camaro. If not allowed to publically defend ourselves, the instigator would have looked like a hero. Talkin on line allows the person to defend what others have accused them of but it also gives the accused a chance to sit back and look at themselves and see things they need to work on that they did not realize they were doing. Some peoples poop really does stink, they just were not aware of it.
