Imagine a folk singer trying to perform in at a bar filled with redneck truck drivers from Texas and you'll get my impression of how easy it is to "dish it out here".

In all fairness we don't see the kind of posts that the likes of Roxdog and PDoH post over in LC, but I wouldn't disagree that we have an unfortunate tendancy to jump all over CTers like props at a Rugby game. It would do us no harm to be a little more like BAUT sometimes.
But to be quite clear, I wouldn't tend to tar the likes of Gravy, Mackey, and so on with that kind of brush. These are guys who generally post detailed, substantive, and polite responses. It's just smart erses like me who need to calm down.
But moving back to an earlire point, my refernce earlier was to the Eurocode requirement for designs to now take additional cognisance of the risk of progressive collapse, and hence the underlying assumption that they too were either "duped" or part of the consipracy. Thoughts and comments, MM?
