Hi Lou
> You wrote,[...the purpose of the reminder is to remind people that not reading posts may be a means of maintaining civility...].
> Are you saying that Dr. Hsiung suggested (reminded) the poster to ,[...not read...]in the post with me so that the poster would not write an uncivil post? If so, then would it not be that there is the potential for the poster to have the potential to think that he/she could not read any post here or he/she might write an uncivil post?I don’t think that the reminder that one can refrain from reading is likely to cause someone to think that they can’t read any posts here, nor that they might write an uncivil post. I think rather that the reminder simply reminds the poster that they are bound by the civility regulations and that they have a number of options available to them if they are to abide by the civility regulations.
> Or are you saying that it is just the posts of only you?
I would like to emphasise again that I don’t think the reminder applies to the posts of any particular person. Not to your posts; not to my posts; not to anyone else’s posts specifically. This particular reminder occurred in the particular context of a thread that you happened to have posted to, but it was general in its application.
Best wishes,
Tamar
