I agree. I don't think, in the interests of civility, that one should be allowed to call ANYONE a sfb here. How in X's name is that civil? It doesn't matter if the person in question reads this board. It's about the climate of civility, it's about appropiate public behavior. It's about general karma, not narrow little interpretations of civility. This came up years ago here, and to my great astonishment Bob indicated you could pretty much say anything you wanted about anyone who was "NOT A MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY". I recall at the time I protested vehemently about the dangers of this attitude, an attitude which has caused immense suffering on this planet for thousands of years.
H^ll, it's not even about civility---it's about morality.
