> I find your message hurtful.

Keeping in mind that the idea here is not to post anything that could lead others to feel accused, could you please rephrase that?

It tends to be more conducive to harmony to talk about how you feel than what someone else did, for example, to use an I-statement:

like "I feel put down by what you said" instead of a you-statement like "you're so arrogant". But please don't just word the latter as the former:

If you have any questions or comments about this or about posting policies in general, please feel free to redirect a follow-up to Psycho-Babble Administration.

Thanks,

Bob
