Magoo: I had to look up the definition of dudgeon. "High dudgeon" is nice usage of it.
I agree there were insulting things said on all sides. I don't want to relitigate it here, I said what I thought at the time and I still think it. My dudgeon is not as high about his comments, true -- ikosmos was vastly outnumbered and I think the tone and example set by the moderator was a key issue. But he and we all could have been better back then.
So let's be better now?
