welcome back. I missed your last two blocks, so I don't know what they are all about.
One problem with a statement like that, as I see it, is that if another poster is involved in just that treatment they may feel like they personally are being criticized and can be very sensitive about criticism. I know you aren't intentionally wanting to hurt someone, but that is sometimes the result.
But (gentle ribbing, nod nod wink wink) isn't the statement you just made a contradiction? You say that you are merely stating an opinion, but the quote you put in is stating something as if it is fact.
If you have any doubts about style, you can babblemail me and I'll try to answer [civility buddy]. But don't go away - I like discussing things with you.
