"Hi Abner jack,
I don’t see the college campus intolerance analogy here."

charles1dad,

You seem to always post very well-balanced and even-handed thoughts here. Wouldn't you agree that when the conversation turns to claims of bullying and emotional abuse, and alcoholic-like acts of non-self awareness, someone is crying out for a safe place, much like the snowflakes are doing on campus.  

oregonpapa is right, there is big difference between expressing disagreement and being a bully. I don’t think any of us are traumatized by anything said here; we face much worse in our real lives. That doesn’t mean bullying shouldn’t be called out for what it is, though.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but WORDS in Open Forum will never hurt me!

Hi Abner jack,
Thank you for your kind comments.  You have a  point "if'" you were to only focus on that single post from Frank.  If you consider Frank's total body of posts in the context of this enormous thread I'd say absolutely not.  He's no snowflake by any definition.  Actually he's graciously taken a fair amount of verbal insults from wolf who has been strikingly personal in posts aimed at Frank.  

This is both unnecessary and IMO  childish.  Criticize the fuses to your heart is thoroughly content,  that's fine.  Frank has done not a single thing to warrant this. Abnerjack I don’t know how much of this thread you've followed but Frank has been nothing but generous, welcoming and very informative and has happily opened this thread to the joy of sharing the love of listening to music. There are many grateful music lovers on this thread who appreciate it and you can begin this long list with me.

Abnerjack,
Just an example, I received a package from Frank recently containing 9 CDs. He took the time to record these from his fabulous vinyl record collection. This is the 2nd time he’s done this for me. Did he have to do this? Of course not, he did it because he’s a good person who knew that I would sincerely appreciate it, and I do. The music is beautiful and a joy to listen to. This goes far beyond a discussion concerning fuses. Either one likes them or they do not,  end of story.
