Paul thinks about everything George is having to deal with, and considers George's feelings and perspective before he acts or speaks. That's all it takes, whether it's George, Meat, or any other member here. As Mel says, it's down to everyone and the language they choose to use. And as Michael said, the site doesn't need "turning around", it needs the members to show respect to and understanding of others' feelings. Most of the time that happens. When it doesn't there's a problem. If Meat's feelings aren't considered he walks away, and many of us are saddened by that, because we do see him posting here as something special and to be nurtured.

Meat is passionate in and about his work; it's what attracts most of us to it and to him, and what makes many of us passionate about it and him. Just like 40 lawyers at the bottom of the sea, thinking about how your post may be interpreted before you hit submit is a good start.
