There is a new belligerent tone in recent posts here on MFO and it bothers me. Some express their wishes as commands, some as sulking. There are people who post here who have a lot knowledge and experience in the mutual fund investment field who manage to share their knowledge with kindness and humility. I humbly suggest that their example be followed. I am hoping for a return to civility. Any of us who post something here may wish it to generate comments and to grow into a useful thread but I don't think that as common foot soldiers so to speak, that any of us should issue commands, or even demands as to how our post should be received or as to what sorts of responses are permitted.
