Dr. Bob, I definitely appreciate and support your new approach of accepting and separating differing views. It also seems reasonable and fair to give posters a warning when they make comments which could be hurtful, such as the ones directed at Lou which you cite.
However, Lou has made even more frequent comments which many in the community find personally harmful and even threatening, and yet, to my knowledge, you have never given him a civility warning. No-one can understand why you are applying your very reasonable contemporary civility rules so completely differently to different posters. We all hope and expect that you will apply the rules equally and fairly, and are shocked and disillusioned when you don't. It is also undoubtedly not healthy for Lou to be repeatedly given the message here that the minimal civility rules apparently do not apply to him.
