This is an opinion. So your views don't include how we feel at Babble and the actions of all posters including yourself affect other posters which affect us.I don't post hardly anywhere else because you have hurt me, Dr. Bob with all of this.
..... But reasonable people can disagree. .....
But in the end it all subjective isn't it?

If you thought she was being uncivil to you, you are now not applying a double standard, shouldn't you have encouraged her to rephrase. Which role are you really taking? Poster or administrator.
I know I feel uncomfortable telling someone I think they need to rephrase or you might block them. I don't really think that is the type of support I initially came here for. If this is the way you want the site to go, it is time for me to leave as well.
It doesn't sit well with me. I don't want to make incorrect judgments and this is what I feel you are asking us to do. It isn't my place.
I want to support not reprimand.
