> One thing Dr. Bob has forgotten is that in order for someone to request a "no post to me please from a certain individual" is that it is on the message line for everyone to read.
Not necessarily, it could be in the body of a post...
> By it's very nature, a message like that is almost uncivil.
Almost, but again, not necessarily...
> It brings tears to my eyes even thinking about how much that could hurt our members that have trouble socializing as it is. Why restrict them more than they do themselves? Why allow people with low self-esteem to be put into a public display of humiliation?
If it were in fact civil, I'd allow it, but it wouldn't be coming from me, and hopefully, people would remember the golden rule...

Anyone who thinks of one, let me know...
