Leo and Douglas whatever happened to dignity and respect?

I am fairly new to this Newsgroup.
I am impressed by the depth of knowledge, both collective and
individual, that passes everyday.
I also understand that constructive debate and criticism are essential
to the collective learning experience that is at the heart of the Newsgroup.
But isn't it time that both Leo van der Pas and Douglas Richardson
stopped their squabbling. Global communications only remain workable if
we treat each other with dignity and respect. I see this declining in
the recent debates about knight and knightly classes and the proper
forms of the name of the wife of Charles I.
At the end of the day all that is being adduced in these debates is
evidence, not proof. Evidence will change over time, is subject to
re-evaluation and may be countered by stronger evidence.
None of this seems to warrant Leo and Douglas duelling with e-mails at
10,000 kilometers in front of the rest of us. Please reserve invective
for private communications and leave the rest of us out.
The really sad thing to me is you both have so much to contribute to
constructive discussions and offer really helpful insights into
genealogical information but it is becoming increasingly hard to sort
the insights from the invective.
