Tamar,
You wrote,[...in my view...Dr. Bob's remarks...comes to the attention of the reader that he/she may choose not to read a person's posts if he/she is likely to reply in am uncivil manner...].
I am requesting that if anyone is going to reply to this thread that they consider the following:
A. Is it civil for Dr. Hsiung to suggest to others on this forum that they [...not read...] anyone's posts, or just my posts, because the content of the posts could cause them to reply to be uncivil here?
B. How does one determine for themselves if a post will cause them to reply and be uncivil here?
C. Could Dr. Hsiung's "remarks",([...do not read...]} have been left out in his statement in question and perhaps replaced by:
1.when you read someone's post that you have determined to be of content that you do not agree with, I am reminding , or suggesting, that you consider that different points of view here are encouraged and that your reply is to be in accordance with the guidlines of the forum even if your views are different...]?
2. when you read someone's posts here, that if you have a strong feeling against that person's name being the poster, could you remember that the guidlines of the forum ask you to respect the views of others here even if they are different from yours?...].
3. please do not boycott any poster's posts here, for they could contain support or education to you, unbeknowing to you, unless you read them...]
4. if you see a poster's name as the poster, that you think will have a content that will upset you in some way, before you reply, could you read it several times so that if you have a conclusion about what is written that could trigger something in you, that you babblemail the poster and have a discussion about it off-board so that you do not post something that is not acceptable here?
5. other good and just alternatives to suggesting that one [...not read...].
