Dr. Bob,
You wrote,[...posters are free to decide whom they ask not to direct posts to them...].
I disagree with your conclusion, for I feel that the aspect of [supportivness and education] is violated by the poster that writes that [so-and- so] is not to ask them something about what they wrote, {even [if]} the statement that the origianal poster wrote was not directed to the poster requesting clarification.
Let us consider the following example:
beardedlady: The best herb for seasickness is licorice
IsoM: I live on the coast and grow some wicked licorice.
Lou: beardedlady, Have you compared licorice with dramamine
beardedlady: I told you, Lou, not to ever write to me, last week. I'm going to get Dr. Bob to block you for writing to me.
Now, is this what you are saying could happen here? The refusal to the request for clarification , in this case, denies support, for the posters accomodation of [their wanting to exclude another poster here from being a {full} participant}] becomes more important than the goal of this site , which is for support and education. If this is so, could you reply and I will reply accordingly.
