However, I shall refrain from using such descriptions if they continue to be misunderstood. It is not misunderstood, I know what diatribe means. And the point is not whether it is correct or not — I'm not interested in seeking consensus on the precise characterisation for each message in this group. The point is that it is pejorative. That's what's unnecessary, both if initiated or in response. -- Robin Berjon - http://berjon.com/
