>>please do not say i was exaggerating..
jyl,
I know you can't reply right now, but I wanted to respond to this because it's been bothering me.
Good point, and I apologize. While I stand by my PBC overall (for the other reasons stated), I shouldn't have included that in my post. After the fact, and after some more thought and another POV from Dr. Bob, I realized what I had done. My thinking was if *I* didn't notice anything "personal" in the post(s) you were talking about, then bam - that constitutes exaggerating, which is listed in the FAQ as something that can in some cases be considered uncivil. I imposed my standard of what's "personal information" on you, and I see now that wasn't fair. I would have had to find out more about what you meant, and I couldn't think of a way to do that within the guidelines, being sensitive to the other poster(s) involved, etc. Reasonable people will probably disagree on what's personal anyway, different comfort levels, etc.
Anyway, I just wanted you to know I'm glad you brought that up, I agree with you, and I'm sorry I included that inappropriate word in my PBC.
Hope your block goes quickly and you feel like coming back to Babble some more.
