Well stated, Chris.  Correcting someone whose postings are factually inaccurate (or one you don't agree with)  is prudent and there is a tactful approach to achieve the desired result.  If, for some inexplicable reason, an HFU member feels the need to be tempestuous and provocative there are countless other websites out there that thrive off inflammatory disrespect.  Thankfully,  HFU is not one of them. 
 Lets strive to keep it that way.
