Jim;
I think that you are approaching this from the wrong perspective.

Disagreement is not wrong or evil, it does not make us weak.

Conversation - the exchange of differing opinions - makes us stronger.

This is the stuff of democracy - this is what has made us great.

Would you now stifle the very foundation of our society?

I would think (and hope) that you would encourage the exchange of ideas about our hobby, it shows both leadership and a true interest in the situation.

Carry on Gentlemen! The only real enemies are silence and apathy!
