I've been subscribed to this list for more than 3 years. I find Wally's
post informative and based on fact. Wally's "communication style" is
mild compared to several former members of this group who have also
taken issue with Amadeus' ongoing obfuscation of the fact that our
ancestors ate meat and lots of it and our genes reflect that fact. It
seems to me Sheryl that your issue with Wally's "communication style" my
be based more on that he called you to task for playing loose and fast
with facts regarding paleo.

It's true I am brusque (as demonstrated by this very message!), but at
least
I don't routinely ridicule and insult anyone who disagrees with me.  I
don't
like the communication style of trying to stifle a voice or suppress the
expression of an opinion.  Wally is a bully.  I read Amadeus' posts.
Regardless of whether I agree with him on particulars, they are always
courteous and informed.  His posts encourage open discussion on this
list,
and for this alone they are valuable.

Wally may be well informed and his opinions may have value and interest,
but
his communication style sets an awful tone for a discussion group.  I'm
sure
there are many lurkers here who would be afraid to post after seeing
what he
dishes out.  I wish Wally would work on his social skills.  Then we
could all
benefit more from his contributions.
