Shar:
I recall a post of yours in which you had told Lou you'd prefer he responded to others in one post, rather than a series of them. Since then, you've been doing just that, as well as responding to others Lou-like ways. (It's not exactly subtle.)
See, many of us had been complaining about a handful of what we thought were arbitrary rules and unfair punishments. Someone is told that two wrongs don't make a right. Someone else is blocked for being sarcastic. (And you criticized us because we left in protest.)
I guess what I'm saying is that you're lucky satire and parody aren't uncivil. Because, especially in light of your agreement that it's best to post once, rather than in a series (which you have been doing on other boards), it sure looks like you're making fun of someone.
I happen to think it's funny. (But then I think sarcasm is often appropriate.) I am wondering (not assuming) whether someone else would be blocked right now for doing the same thing, or if you have indeed found a safe way to make a good point.
