Hi Lou. I think that people are trying really hard to explain to you why they find some of your posts to be upsetting. People are trying really hard to do this in an honest way, and in a way in which they do not unduly hurt your feelings.
I just wanted to add one more point:
I think that in general Dr. B does a pretty good job of moderating these boards. Sure he makes mistakes sometimes (in my opinion at any rate) but then it is reassuring to me to think that he is only human.
It must take him an awful lot of time to keep up with peoples posts, and while he may not read them all he seems to scan most of them. But frequent requests for determination make the admin board too much like hard work. Can you imagine how much time it must take for someone to keep up with all your postings? Can you not see why at least some people have chosen not to read them thoroughly, and why you may loose people who would otherwise support you?
I am reminded of 'you can lead a horse to water...'. I don't like rules, but I think that people have done really well to try to explain the situation to you, and, well, I am starting to see the point of the new 3 post rule after all.
Please Lou, try not to take this personally - it is (or at least it definately should be) about your behaviour and not you as a person. People are trying so hard to explain where they are coming from to you because they care. Remember how many people didn't want you to go? People care about you and I don't think that people are trying intentionally to hurt or pick on you.
