Sorry, but if there is some type of decision that has been determined here that {many} are frustrated ,a and few are mean, and that it is something that I should remember as a fact, well, I do not remember any fact as ever being determind, for it would take a hurculean endevor of statistical analysis to make such a conclusion. If we look at the board today and catorigise posts as either {frustrated} or {mean}, that also has to be looked at as to who is discussiing with who. The posters that engage me in discussion may be mean to me, but not mean to someone else, and vise-versa. If I was doing the separtion of the posts today, I would declare many of the posts to be outright mean, if not degrading to another poster here. But others might determine those same posts to be not mean. I preferr to allow each post to be determined as {mean} or not, on their individual aspects that can be seen and give any poster that posts statements that have the potential to be defaming and/or accusitive, the opportunity to clarify what they wrote so that there could be a removal of the veil of doubt.
