What really is the point of this exchange anyway? What do you all want to communicate here?
I wanted to communicate that it is unacceptable to
call names even if it was an attempt at humor. But
I also admit that I thought a "teasing" reminder was
kinder than a lecture on civility. So I guess you
just can't win sometimes.I also think someone should point out that there seems
to be a much lower threshhold of unacceptable behaviour
for people whose opinions do not reflect the majority
here.In the end it is just a matter of whose making the
judgement. Bob banned fred without a warning because
he 'believed' him to be a repeat offender. So being
objective doesn't go for much. Cyber transference
and counter transference reigns. Well, I do run on.Everything is going to be offensive to someone I suppose
And I will defend Bob against accusations of being a porn
king as long as my tired fingers can reach the keyboard.Gbabble
