atw: Non-testosteroned / Name-calling a no-no / re-subjecting

To offer a non-testosteroned opinion:
I think I must miss some posts so I often find it hard to follow threads that 
become hostile and 
often wonder what people are so bothered by. Regardless, I believe that however 
someone feels 
about another's post I think that a basic standard of courtesy should be that 
we refrain from 
any kind of name-calling. I feel dismayed and offended when I see name-calling 
though I find 
other manifestations of heated argument fine.

As for the Off Topic flag - rather than a black and white OT I think it might 
be a good idea to 
revise the Subject line whenever there's any change or addition to the original 
Subject (which 
there often is). This can be useful when you want to look at old posts or just 
to provide more 
info for your decision to open the post or not.

Regards,
Petra Liverani
