(note: i haven't yet read gg or auntie mel's responses, so if i happen to repeat anything they have already said, i apologize...)
<But in that case, should even the original attacker be blocked? Isn't he also an emotional creature, and not perfect? Maybe he felt an innate need to attack?
but my point here is that the attacker *provoked* the emotion in the attackee.
an additional point i'd like to make is, i think if administrative assistance is not available, especially when requested, as in this case (see chemist's posts on this administrative board, pleading for help) then administation should come down a little easier on the attacked.

no, because i don't feel it gets my point across as effectively. these descriptive adjectives, i feel, are necessary to convey my point more effectively. i'm not going to tiptoe around the facts. why not point them out so we can put all of the cards on the table and thoroughly discuss the issue? i am not insulting him directly, but discussing his behavior, as this is a forum dealing with administrative issues.amy
