HG,
Another reason that I ask for clarification is to give the poster in question an opportunity to ,[rule out] something that could be interrpreted adversly, for sometimes, in writing, it could appear that what one wrote could have an accusitve import in it, so I ask for them to clarify the comment so that they have the opportunity to deny any accusation that could be interrpreted.
If I was the moderator of an internet board, I would ask the poster in question to clarify any remark that could be interprreted as accusatory and have a stated policy that [failure to answer] would be considered to be [contempt] and deserve a sanction for not answering the [moderator's]request for clarification. I beleive that a procedure like I am describing could be of benifit to foster a respect for all parties by giving due-process to all and clarifying any possible misunderstandings.
