I understand that, and I disagree with a lot of his gambling-related posts here. As you've seen, I haven't been shy about arguing with him here.

And that's fine. Nobody has to respect his ideas/posts. You're welcome to criticize them, correct them, call them stupid, etc.

I just don't want to see really nasty personal attacks in his direction, since he doesn't engage in that here. It's not like I'm asking people to tone down the rhetoric against someone like Rob Singer. Rob is purposely inflammatory and deserves any nasty responses he gets. Alan may post odd things, but he isn't engaging in personal attacks.
