> But for the sake of argument, what if the poster had apologized for any distress and reiterated her caring before repeating her point?

IMO, saying one cares shouldn't give one license to be uncivil...

> Or do you make allowances for relationships between posters? So that if two posters who are known to be on good terms have the same conversation, you might treat it differently?

I might, but OTOH, others might conclude it's OK in general...

> I would hate to see friends punished for a bit of bluntness. I've been on the receiving end a few times, and if I'm assured of the goodwill behind it, it's hard to be really offended.

I think if the person on the receiving end is sure, that's one thing, but if they're just told, that's another.
