Nothing nefarious. I just thought that perhaps you were more interested in verbiage than in perception. I guess I'm still upset at you for blocking Larry Hoover. I really didn't think he deserved it. I'll go back and take another look at it, though. Maybe there is some sort of psychological model of interaction that is being enforced as an experiment or simply as a philosophy. I wasn't sure, so I figured I'd ask.The post of mine that you cited was actually a genuine propositon rather than an accusation.
So, now, will you answer my questions? :-)
And another question. Is there some sort of published guideline to civil communication or prescriptive model of interaction that you refer to? Curious minds want to know... (at least mine does).
