You're right Kara. I've actually known him to apologize quite often. I was mainly teasing to lighten the atmosphere.

If it's ok to insult countries other than your own, Phil's PBC clearly should be rescinded.
I'm tempted to tell a few jokes here, but won't.
And do as you wish. I'm taking a leave of absence.

Dinah,
I agree with you. I was only responding to someone saying that Dr. Bob never apologizes.

Well, it was an apology nonetheless. It doesn't mean I don't agree with you.

Please address the question of when it is acceptable to make any sort of vile parallels if there is a question mark at the end. This will surely come up again.
Please retract your PBC to Greg and formulate some kind of guidelines that will eliminate the kind of posts that he was replying to.
Alara has apologized on PSB. Please acknowledge her apology and remind her of the civility guidelines.
The mistake you made posting the link to Goerhing caused a distraction.Thanks for apologizing for that. Now that you have dealt with that mistake, please address the issues we have raised.
Thank you

Phil, I'm sorry to hear how depressed you are. I hope you'll stick around the boards, get some support.
I enjoy your company.

Noa, I'm already feeling good, for the most part.
I had to see if one of my drugs was still necessary cause it sucks. Well, it does suck but it is a good AD and I was reminded in short order how important these drugs are. So I'm back.
Got a story that I will try to write to you on PSB tonight. I'm wired so it's hard to be succinct and just get to the point. : )Thank you.

sounds like the stinky but necessary reality that we live with, for now, that some of our meds do their AD jobs but not without a price. I think of this as the "next best thing" until something better is developed.
See ya back at PSB.

Sorry, but I can't spell out exactly what will be acceptable here.

Sorry, can you give me a URL?

Would she like an acknowledgement from me? I did appreciate her response. But since I didn't consider her post uncivil, I don't consider it necessary to remind her of the guidelines.

I agree with fayroe ;) come over to the new board. I'm sorry Dinah, but I see a lot of posts here by you that are always argumentative. I hope you get to feeling better.
I'm only responding to posts that are productive.
Take care,

I'm sorry, too, but please be sensitive to the feelings of others and don't post anything that could lead them to feel accused or put down. Last time, it was for 1 week, so this time, it's for 2.

I can't figure out what you are expressing regret for here. So I'll just apply it to an issue of my choosing. Thanks. And they laughed when I asked for an apology!!!!!!!!!!

I have modeled this closely after the post you found acceptable about paralells between terrorists and allied forces. I am struggling to understand your requirements for civility. Please tell me if this acceptable. Thanks.
Here's a paradox: Terrorists in our society are supposedly evil. The definition of a terrorist is a person who cause fear and anger and humiliation.Yet our board administrator causes fear and anger and humiliation.Our board administrator is not a terrorist? This is not about power and control?

fayeroe,
You wrote,[...you let Lou...{demand) clarifications...which make people feel put down...].
I feel that your use of the word,{demand} here is inappropriate, for a request for clarification is, well, a {request},and not a demand.
I feel that a request for clarification is good , for if the requested clairfication comes forth, then more is contributed to the discussion and I feel that more support and education could arise from that, for more discussion could be contributed as a result of the unveiling of what was requested to be clarified. As far as a request for clarification causing people to be put down, I disagree with your conclusion, for clarification allows another to , well, clarify and have the opportunity to clear up any potential misunderstandings.

fayroe,
You wrote,[...Lou has more leeway than anyone should have anyware...].
Requesting clarificaion is not uncivil, {anyware} that I know of. Let us revisit your previous post to me as I remember it:
fayroe:[...you're getting {anal} here...]
Lou : could you clarify what your use of the word,{anal} here is for?...].
Are you saying that my request for clarification in this case is allowing me to [demand], rather than request, clarification from you?
Are you saying that I can not ask you for clarification when you direct your statement to me? If you could clarify this, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.

fayroe,
You wrote,[...request/demand...what is the difference?...].
Ther is a distinct difference between the two. A demand has the import that there will be a mandatory requirerment to do something , or else a consequence will happen to those that do not do the demand, but a request is an optional action to perform, with no consequences as a result of not complying.
In the posts here where I request clarification from a poster, ther is no consequence to not reply. In your post in question here to me, I requested that you clarify the word {anal} in your post that involved me. I consider that a reasonable request, for the word was including me , and clarification , if it came forth, could have the potential to have cleard up any potential misunderstanding,which was my intention for requesting clarification, not to make you feel uncomfortable

Of course I meant Phil. I'm sorry I put the wrong name.

Phil,
> The PBC was to me.
Which I personally thought was unfair given the fact that the post containing the comparison between the 911 terrorists and the Coalition Forces operating in Iraq did not receive a PBC.
> I assume that's what OR is referring to.
Yeah, I think OddipusRex got your name confused with Greg's.
> I'm not asking for squat.Good thing 'cause we’re fresh out. I just finished the last of the squash for lunch.
Okay, that's finished. Now, what's next?

P.S. Please bear with me, Phil. My meds/supplements are working so well these days that I am slightly giddy. Be well.
