Muff - It didn't sound to me like Bob had a problem with CE stating his opinion. I think it was just *how* he stated it that prompted Bob to ask him to rephrase. And personally, I wouldn't have perceived CE's reference to anti-psychiatry as uncivil, but it may have been the 'hogwash' word that tipped the scale.. because in the original post it sounded like those who are anti-psychiatry are believing in 'hogwash'And thing is - CE handled it all with a lot of decorum. He could have reacted as if he felt picked on, but he didn't. He could have acted offended and spouted off about the extraordinarily low threshhold in this situation, but he didn't. He was a gentleman every step of the way. So in the end, Muff - it was CE who came out of it looking exceptional. Bob's low threshhold didn't harm Christempowered at all. His reaction to that low threshhold made him look like a prince, in my eyes.
Just wanted to offer another persepctive..

ps - and Muff - you have pointed out that warnings (before blocks) are important. And they are. I think Bob's rephrase requests are like warnings. So it might be important to recognize that Bob may be giving warnings warnings that aren't recognized as warnings.
