[amibroker] Re: STOP THE FLAME WARS NOW !!!!

I agree Dingo would be perfect.  But then there are shades of gray and
posts have to be taken into context.  For example is what I wrote in
response to Pal a flame? (*before* reading Tomasz's post I might add,
lol). Seems like another argument for a referee.

many have pointed out in posts, yet the only comment I've read from
you on the board was to Fred saying it wasn't his place to tell people
to "go away".

That's why you need to step in and referee or assign someone to do
that.  I nominate Dingo : )
