>Not at all, Lou. I was only trying to point out to you that the posts you referenced, in the same thread, were about how these people FEEL -- and *not* about the acceptability of the posts that they were reacting to.
As far as I'm concerned, everyone here has the absolute right to post anything at all that they care to -- as long as they take responsibility for the potential consequences, such as getting blocked, hurting someone else's feelings, alientating another poster, whatever the consequences might be. All I was trying to do in my post to you was point out to you that the posts you questioned were not about you or any other poster, but about how PartlyCloudy and JenStar *felt* -- and that they were expressing hurt feelings.
Sometimes, a statement or question that is written innocently *does* lead to hurt feelings -- think of Cordelia, right? -- no matter how well-meant it may have been. You have every right to ask Dr Bob whether or not something that someone else has written is within the guidelines of this site. And other people here have the same right to be hurt by your question.
And Lou? I'm not going to engage in this matter further. I find that spending this morning exploring the Admin board is not good for my mental health, though I'll probably read what's written until these matters are resolved. I wanted to tell you that in hopes that your feelings will not be hurt when I don't engage with you any further. Outside of the threads I'm engaged in on this board now, though, I'd appreciate it if you did not post to me. You have every right to respond to what I've written here, even if I won't answer -- but this far and no further, OK?
Peace.
