Please tell me, Dr. Bob, which of the above messages from adamie did NOT fall into one--or all--of the above categories? Why, when I used adjectives, did I suddenly break the rules? I (and others) "accused" adamie of failing to adhere to guidelines. Was that okay because no adjectives were used?

Accusing someone who is being rude of being rude is like accusing someone who is asking a question of asking a question.

I guess I'd say that with adjectives, there's more of a risk of being disparaging. This isn't always easy, and I know I'm not perfect. I want to be open to feedback, but if you could also please try to accept what I decide and to trust that I'm doing my best to be fair and to do what I think will be good for this community as a whole, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks,

Bob
