The statement that was flagged as uncivil was just a statement of his feelings and no derogatory adjectives were directed at lou. Maybe you can look at the context of the statement and reconsider your feelings that it was uncivil?

FB makes a great point. If I ask wether goats milk or cows milks has a higher protein content I don't expect a long post on the evils of cows milk. I'm a bit confused that you feel his statement was uncivil. He said he resented someone's post. He was only stating his feelings and that really was a request that someone honor his request. No derogatory adjectives were directed at Lou.
I think that has become a problem in threads. Someone asks a question and someone uses the question as an opportunity to state their agenda. Dr. Bob could there be a rule to honor what the poster has asked for? This has rightfully caused some people to become upset and than they get reprimanded.
Lou has stated that he says these things for our good but grown people do have the right to have people answer the question in an appropriate way.I am the judge of what is good for me.
