I agree with you.  Dr. D is probably a little sensitive to Dr. Naka's tone because of the previous and recent exchanges at MC.  And my post wasn't to call you out for supporting Dr. Naka, both views are very sensible and reasonable, I was just giving my honest opinion :)  Yeah I generally take anything and everything said on the internets with about 4 or 5 metric tons of salt.  Not being in the same room with someone, hearing their inflections, seeing their facial expressions, viewing their gestures tend to really bend the reality of discourse.  I still very much enjoy surfing the web and even getting into a hot debate or two, but I definitely don't dwell too much on people’s tones either.
FWIW, I have always enjoyed talking/debating with you, Matt.  I think mostly people just like to get your goat, because you can sometimes be easily provoked and can get a little emotional (as we all can).  As a matter of fact over the years (amazing that I can say that about relationships with people I have never met and couldn't pick out of a lineup, isn;t the internet amazing) I think you have really improved in showing restraint and trying to be the bigger man, and relaxing and re explaining things without getting heated, so kudos on that.
