I kinda think calling someone a piece of **** is a bit more wrong along with the coward comment, but that is what this forum has turned to. If you don't want something like that publicized best to not say it at all.
PMs are intended to be private. That's why they are so labeled. They are a place to conduct disagreements so as not to contaminate the forum with undue or obscene or extremely cantakerous squabbling (or just to engage in NSR chat to avoid undue hijacking). If privacy isn't respected, it's a problem. As well, there are many ways to call someone a piece of ****, as you know, without explicitly saying so.
As to what "this forum has turned to," it is my understanding that flame wars and mass suspensions were the norm in the past. I would imagine that many posters prefer humor to personal attacks. Why not start a meaty thread on the wonders of youth swim meets or what a tough gig it is to be a USS coach (it is)? Or else I'll think you're "kissing up" to the moderators, a practice you profess to abhor.
On a happier note, I don't have any swim meets or other races to go to this weekend. So I will attend all my masters practices with or without Gull.
