Aha! I get it. Toeing the line so to speak, and sometimes leaning over spitefully. Some posters are more professional at this than others.
What bothers me is that many people who try to express how they are affected by the post get zapped. It's really hard to maintain assertiveness and use "I" statements and not appear to be "putting someone down". If a post hurts my feelings, it may be helpful to the poster (assuming they are not a troll) for me to express exactly what about the post hurt. But what if they are hurt in the process?
If we all were always assertive in the face of stressul situations, then we may not be the type of person who utilizes this board.
Just some thoughts.
