Dr. Hsiung,
You wrote,[...in that case,( a poster left on their own volition), I would address it...].
You also wrote elseware,[...if I miss it...I could be reminded and then address it...].
If we look at the type of post in question, there is the potential for some to think that since the post is not addressed by you that it is OK here to post such. There is no visible understanding that the poster that wrote such is absent from the board when they read the post. I am asking you to elliminate that situation by making some type of notation that what is posted is not acceptable here because there is the potential for one to think that since there is no visible notation {from you} that the content of the post is unacceptable here that they could think that it is acceptable here to call a person those names. You say that someware else you evicted the poster for some other post. But those that read the post in question do not have any idea of that unless they frequent another board where the eviction took place.
There are many boards here that I have never posted on. I believe that there could be others here that also do not look at some of the other boards. And I do not think that it is the responsibility of evry poster here to read evry post on evry board to find out. When someone reads the post in question , they see a poster calling another poster here a "fruitcake" and an "idiot" and there is nothing from ther moderstor to indicate at the sorce of the post that it is unacceptable. I am requesting that in these cases that you place a symbol next to the post to indicate that the poster has been evicted from another post on another board and that the symbol means that the post in question is unacceptable.
