Hank,
I would like to make a public request that you consider
making your language a bit more restrained. By being
so...emphatic, you are inviting similarly emphatic
disagreement, and so on up a spiral.
Please remember that, unlike your newspaper column, these
posts are read by museum professionals with broad expertise
and experience. Some of your enthusiastic postings sound a
bit patronizing and unconsidered, to me at least.
A civilized request to maintain a civilized discourse. It's
rare enough in this world.
