Different points of view are fine, and in fact encouraged, but your freedom of speech is limited here. It can be therapeutic to express yourself, but this isn't necessarily the place.
> I dont appreciate you coming over here on the admin board, complaining about me when I never said a darn thing about you...I know what your underlying objective is...to get me kicked off.

Please don't?

> Whenever someone comes over here complaining about another poster and says that this poster "disturbs" them, then that is heading towards the direction of being banned. I dont know if you realize this or not <sarcasm> but Dr. Bob has a tendency to boot people on here at the drop of a hat it seems. A post that "disturbs" someone as Judy claims my posts "disturb" her would probably also be seen as "uncivil."

> One thing leads to another. Disturbing posts could be interpreted as uncivil posts and uncivil posts leads to being banned. Do you understand that? This board if full of people who are excessively sensitive and politically correct and it needs to stop.
>
> Old SchoolIf you see this board as full of people who are sensitive and a "complaint" as a step toward being blocked, then it seems to me the choices are (1) to take pains not to "disturb" these sensitive people or (2) to find others who aren't so sensitive.

> nikkiHe may have felt attacked and wished to defend himself. But posters (1) don't have to defend themselves by attacking back and (2) don't have to have the best responses, but do have to have responses that meet certain criteria.
