Fair enough - if you don't feel comfortable somewhere, it's time to move
on.  Sometimes it is appropriate to try to ignore the people or posts
that bother you, other times it is simply not worth the effort.  There
are some posters in clc whose C knowledge I respect, but whom I find
unpleasant people in discussions.

(I've just updated my filters to remove more of "HE"'s junk, and as a
side-effect I might have hidden this thread.  So if you think there's
more to be said here - and I think there probably isn't - you have my
email address.)
