> 1. The poster was speculating about some characteristics about another poster, NOT stating that the person had such characteristics.

To speculate does not mean the ponderance is neccessarily inconclusive. Is the phrase "people who do this don't" conclusive or inconclusive? Is the phrase "It must be" conclusive or inconclusive?

If these phrases are written in reference to "certain posters" does that more conclusively or less conclusively attribute the speculative conditions to that "certain poster"?

I would need to scour the archives to learn if similar statements have been administratively sanctioned, but reviewing the officially cited model for I-statements ( http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20040112/msgs/320097.html ), I wonder if I would be allowed to say that a "certain poster" derives pleasure from anything untoward.

And finally, I wonder about the veracity of an assertion that some certain posters don't get mutual support from anyone here. I support certain posters who might be referenced in your statement, I am somebody and I am here.
