Civil strife

Gentlemen:

I love debate... but can't we "argue" a bit more for diplomacy and civility
on the list at the moment??
Must we degenerate into personal and professional attacks??

Or am I just barking down the wrong "diesis?"

BTW -- I live in New York, but I remain unconvinced that New York Times
critics should be held as a paradigm of definitional authority concerning
tuning... (or of anything, for that matter...)

I also live in New York and agree about the value of the critics for
definitions. On the other hand, I would love to read what William Safire,
whose column "On Language" appears each weekend in the New York Times
Magazine, would have to say about the terms "microtone" and "microtonal".
He might have some useful advice.
