noa,
You wrote,[...how do you determine what feelings are reasonable and ligitamate...]?
Well, if their feelings are internally generated, then I do not feel that I am responsible for anyone else's reaction that they may have for their reaction could be irrational in respect to the subject at hand. This was discussed here previously when a poster objected to me writing about God because the poster's parents were religious and somehow the religion in the family harmed the poster and my post supposedly could trigger bad memories of the posters parents in relation to religion. I feel that no one has to muzzle themselves to accomodate the unknown triggers to anothers past problems in their lives, for I feel that would be an unreasonable expectation to impose on any one.

"The names in the examples are fictitious names in a hypothetical example ..."
You are joking right Lou... The names you used, are NOT fictitious as you rightly know. YOu have taken posters names here and distorted them.
It is offensive, nasty, and your denial of it simply... well, I don't have the word for it.
Are you trying to tell me that names such as OsteperousRex and WierdedBeardo, Boozeman and Drippy2, were just complete figments of your imagination, and any similiarity to posters here, is a strange coincidence?
Please refrain from using names you have twisted from real posters.

NikkiT2,
You wrote,[...you have taken poster's names here and distorted them...].
Could you match up the names in my hypothetical situation that you think corrospond to posters here? If you could, then I could respond accordingly.

OddipusRex,
You wrote,[...I'd been an inspiration...].
Thank you for pointing out that there could be [other] reasons why a name is used in a hypothetical example. You see, in the hypothetical example, another poster could have been {inspiered} by you and since he was from Texas, and cantankerous, he made up the name, ObstreperousTex because he admired you.

I haven't concluded anything. But I am saying that I perceive that the "fictitious" names you've chosen are not hypothetical enough. To me, they seem too closely related to real names on this board, with minor distortions of a negative nature. This is my perception. I am saying that when I read them I see them as potentially insulting and in contradiction to your stated intentions of considering other people's feelings. That is all.

Lou, give me a break.
Any second-grader would be able to match them up. And if you claim that it is coincidence, I would not be able to believe you.
And if you claim that there is no way the names could be perceived as insulting, I would disagree. Rex might be flattered but I think that is unusual. To be flattered would require seeing it as sarcasm in good faith, and sarcasm is at the very least very risky in this form of communication.

I do not believe there are any set requierments for one to be flattered. In the hypothetical, more than one perception could be made. ObstreporousTex could have {liked} the name of OddipusRex for many different reasons, not just the reason that you percieve.

NikkiT2,
You wrote, "The names you used are Not fictitious as you rightly know."
Could you clarify what you used to make that conclusion? The names are fictitious,for the example is hypothetical and the names are of unreal people. Are you saying that you have some type of special power to look into my mind and tell what I {know}?

Lou.
I can't believe that you are denying this.. you have been so openly offensive, that every one here (and yes, I have recieved personal messages to this effect) can see what you did.
*bangs head against brick wall*
My 4 year old nephew would be able to work out exactly who you were reffering to with your pseudonyms, so please, don't act so innocent.
Lou, you are a nasty piece of work. You deliberately, and yes, I mean deliberately, wind people up, again and again and again. People ask you not to ask for clarification, and you say they are rude and uncivil, but you think you can get away with calling me Drippy??? Or Beardedlady Wierd???
You can never simply reply with one post, but, take this thread as an example, you go over and over the same things time and time again. People are just pushed to the edge of distraction by you.You upset people, and people let you know that they do, yet you continue to bang away at them.
Your grammer is appalling. Your use of ]'s and the like make your posts virtually impossible to read and understand, and your spelling is terrible - and yes, you've posted asking for clarififcation on a post of mine due to a simple typo that any normal person would have seen straight away as a typo. But no, you have to harrass me and make me feel so angry that you couldn't just let one simply typo go.
As for you communication expert. Has he ever looked at any posts of yours?? Some how I doubt it, as your communication is terrible, and no one ever really knows what you're actually trying to say.
You play the hard done by, victimised person every time anyone stands up for themselves against you.
You are part of a community here Lou, yet you are not willing to try and fit in with it. Many, MANY of us have made suggestions as to how you could communicate with us better, but you believe your way is the perfect way and are un-willing to change, for the better in my opinion.
I have tried to be civil with you Lou.. I have tried incredibly hard. But yesterday you decided to no longer be civil about me, and about friends I have here.

NikkiT2,
You wrote,"You deliberatly, and yes, I mean deliberatly, wind people up, again and again and again."
Could you clarify if you have some type of power to decern what is in my heart to accuse me of {deliberatly}[winding people up]and what "winding people up" means ? If you could, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly, for I am not deliberatly winding people up, if I understand what that expression has been used to mean in the past. It is my intention to respond to the invitation here to discuss administrative issues and the one in discussion now is important to me, for I feel that if the [...don't post to me...] policy is allowed here, that that policy could open the doors to discrimination, ostracisim, stigmatization and , perhaps, other things that I consider to be an unsound mental-health practice. The examples that I have given are designed to clarify the permeters of the proposed policy and they are hypothetical and the people in them are not real people.

You wrote, "But yesterday you decieded to no longer be civil about me, and about friends I have here."
Are you accusing me of some type of decieded plot to be uncivil to you and your friends? If so, are you saying that you have some special power to determine what someone decieds to do in relation to what they write here, without there being any facts in evidence to support your conclusion? If so, could you tell me what this power is that enables you to make that determination? If you could, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly, for I do not believe that anyone on the face of the earth has any power to determine why someone wrote something unless there are facts in evidence to support their conclusion, and I do not believe that I have been uncivil to you or your friends.

Well, if you are not sure of what I am trying to say, you, or anyone else, could ask me for clarification to have a better understanding so that you could have the opportunity to respond accordingly. I have not declared that anyone could not respond to me, and you have responded more to me than most others here, so it appears to me that at least you have some idea as to what I am talking about, except I do not beleive that you have a proper foundation to make the kind of remarks and conclusions that you have made to me in your post here that I am taking the opportunity to respond to.

NikkiT2,
You wrote, "But no, you have to harrass me and make me feel so angry that you couldn't just let one simply typo go."
If you are refering to a recent post of yours to me, then my reply to you is not harrassment, for when one poststo another, there is an invitation for the other to respond. And if I remenber correctly, that post of yours had grammer that was not giving a clear idea of what you were trying to say, as well as there being a typo. But my request was only to give you an opportunity to clarify what you wrote to me, and that is not uncivil, or to be constituted as harrassment to you. If there is a recent post that is different from the post of yours that I am describing, and there is a post of yours with only a typo in it, could you repost that and we could examine it? If you could, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly. Are you also saying that I intentinally tried to make you angry by asking for clarification? If so, you could dispell that from your consideration for it is not now, nor has it ever been, nor will it ever be, my intention to make someone angry.
