It's *very* easy to get feelings hurt in these discussions. It's too bad you had to leave for a while. I've done it for months, too.
I almost never post anything personal or "targeted" to someone, but I can easiliy end up feeling bruised & dismissed. I try to remind myself it's sort of like the feedback TV shows or advertisers get: it's a spotty, kind of random, skewed sample. Most people don't write, even if they really appreciate what you've written or if they really sympathize & feel for you.
Your post is a terrific reason for supporting Bob's civility policies. (Threads against Bob's enforcement come up all the time on the Admin board.)
