On the issue of sensitivity & behaviors in forums: having joined recently here, and being a member/regular contributor for many years in a couple of other forums, I can say that almost every new member in any forum does not get accepted that easily, meaning that it does indeed take some time for all experienced members to get in tune with the point of view, style and quality of responses any new member has. In addition, it appears bashing is virtually non-existent here, something which is very good. We are a kind of small community in TSR anyway, members are willing to joyfully share knowledge and opinions and I believe this shows a lot. There is nothing wrong with any member (e.g. Henk) referring strictly to a 'theory' and commenting accordingly. A personally-directed comment is another story, but this was not the case here. Rev-O put it very nicely, any newcomer has to stick around if he loves the subject, eventually he should be able to get used to all other members, this is a fact.
On the issue of cold shaving: I personally don't do it, and have no intention going this path in the future. No issue with the temperature (I used to swim all year long when I was back home) but now I find no reason to put cold water over my face and shut the pores down before I shave. If I was living in Dubai or Singapore (quite possibly next expat-land for me, in a couple of years) then I might have decided to shave with ambient temperature tab water, but that's about as far as I would go.
) or "bloody lovely" everyone should do it.
