I only wanted the poster to address the scientific issues, but to not reply in any ad hominem manner (you ought to look up the meaning of e.g. "materflickenhund"). I do not agree that I was uncivil, but we have disagreed about that many times before. However, pointing to the harassment rules baffles me. As Dinah suggests, here is the explicit question.....Is it acceptable to address specific factual questions to a poster who has been asked to not post to me, under the expectation that a factual reply is permitted, but an ad hominem reply is a violation of the "do not post to me" request?
