Respectfully, are your questions rhetorical, or should I keep answering them? I felt a little put down by these... they seem a little sarcastic, IMO, though I did answer the second one.
It seems nothing is going to be done about this at this time, but might I ask what other options you have considered for the problem we've been discussing?
*** And finally, I've lost track of the number of times I've asked now, but would you PLEASE just let me know if you think the kind of behavior we've been discussing here is civil? (Or uncivil? Or somewhere in between?) ***

> So you read every post on every board you go to?No, but as I said previously, it is very hard to ignore such a flood of posts. I frequently have to pick through these kinds of posts to get to ones that *aren't* this kind of post. Do I read some? Yes. Sometimes (because it's been done to me in the past) I wonder if my words are being scrutinized without my knowledge; or sometimes because I want to support someone else whose words, IMO, have been taken out of context and put under scrutiny. Also, sometimes I just stumble into them as a result of reading some other post or following some other thread.
