I may have been the first one to back Wally a few days ago.  I said that I agree
with his ideas 100% so far.  He is intelligent and well informed.  I also
described his tone as "perhaps a bit rough."  But from there, there seemed to be
a snowball effect of people echoing not only his excellent ideas and persuasive
arguments but his rough tone as well.  This is a shame because it is juvenile
and unnecessary and only ends up driving people away from the promise of health
that paleo eating brings.

A parallel from the outside.  I happen to be conservative politically.  I also
happen to think that Rush Limbaugh is right about the overwhelming majority of
things he says.  But he's such a jerk that he turns off those he ought to be
convincing.  I'm afraid of the same thing happening here.

How about a little more civility?
