NikkiT2,
As far as me expecting people to withdrawal from a thread,rather than give clarificaion to a request for such, that is just one alternative that I would have {if} I was the moderator of an internet forum. I would also place a halt to that person's participation in that thread, for I would state in {my} guidlines that a pposter would be in contempt if {the moderator}, not the discussant,asked for clarificationand the poster that is asked declined. I would also state in {my} guidlines that for one to say that they can not clarify what they wrote, to not be acceptable to excuse the declination. In other words. {if} I was the moderator of an internet forum, a poster {would } have to give clarification when requested or be sanctioned, which is an administrative decision and I do not consider an adminastative decision in regards to treating posters that decline to clarify a possible vague or potential defaming or accusitive atement to be {offensive}.
