Since we aren't ready to all hold hands and join in a chorus of Kumbaya ... I think we all need to take a deep breath and back the heck off of each other. Tone is very hard to understand on the internet. I very much hope Geek was trying to recognize Fort's amazing swimming abilities and not trying to be rude or sarcastic. Like Ms. Scarlet I'm going to defend her because I think she's awesome. Obviously lots of people here do.
As for the PM issue I think the proper course of action would have been to report the post rather than bring it into the forums. That was unecessary regardelss of whether or not you were offended or thought it was inappropriate.
I think we all want the same thing, to have a place where we can talk about something we are all passionate about with others. When conversation deviates from swimming that should be viewed as a normal part of developing relationships. That's where the bonds form.
Kumbaya my Lord, Kumbaya ... ;)
